Mmmmm ....
I can actually remember when G-AXPL arrived in Melbourne ... I was then part of the engineering crew at Vowell Air Services (later to become 'Helicopter Resources') involved in the strip and rebuild for its CoA ...
IIRC one of our senior engineers got an all expenses trip to UK to do the prior purchase 'due diligence' (I think it was Kevin Gibson) on the machine ...
Anyway turned out to be a pretty good machine ... flew nicely and I seen to think it did a few trips to the Antarctic ?? ...
