Last two letters suggest G-BEID?
Ah yes, the 'Venerable Beid' (G-BEID), how interesting. Also interesting that this photo happened to be paired with a shot of a US helicopter airline 61! Did you know that before BEID became BEID .. she flew as an 'airline ship' Stateside in the form of N317Y?

Many hours flying this old bird at Dollar. Never saw her in that paint scheme though - just the standard Dollar white with Blood & Custard stripes.
