I enjoyed the programme last night; however, I was surprised that BEA Helicopters were not mentioned. I seem to recal back in the early 1960's (64?) they instroduced the S61 on their service to the Scilly Islands from Penzance heliport (specially built for the S61 operation) this was carried on when BA were formed in 1974 up until the mid 1980's when sold to Robert Maxwell and the name changed to British International Helicopters.
