Mr Bacon: to correct your info. The Olympic Broadcast Service had at least 8 AS355s running Cineflex systems, and links from BroadcastRF. There was an additional AS355 for the exclusive use of NBC. These were all run from Stapleford by MW/Excel. (Although the NBC machine came from Arena.)
Down at Weymouth were 2 AS355s with a 3rd "spare".
The logistics of all of this were co-ordinated by Ian Evans, who assembled a great team of pilots with OBS cam ops.
OBS specified twins - and the contract went to a UK company.
All good.
