Certainly none of Bristow nor CHC aircraft in Abz have these suspect batch of shafts, not sure if Bond do but there are only 9 affected shafts in existence worldwide (and not all those necessarily installed in an aircraft). The shaft design is a different part number than installed on the 332 and 330, though I believe retrofit is possible at least on the 332. All the shafts are visually very similar, the ones fitted on the 225 have modified treatments as the primary difference.
