We've seen a few 'Bells along the Thames' including Helipixman's photo of Tommy Sopwith's Bell 206 (G-BASE) seen along the Embankment in 1973 as well as some 'Rayner Rangers' (see page
96) and now this visitor from the Far East:

In April 2000 the Maritime Safety Agency of Japan was renamed the Japan Coast Guard.
