Yes, the Autair Helicopters that you saw down at Panshager was owned by the original Autair from Luton in the 50's and 60's.
The helicopters were over in the "blister " hangar next to the flying club at Luton, then when Court Line went under they moved their offices to the old Court Line Cabin trainer which was located behind Halcyon House and moved all there old and stored helicopters to Panshanger. At on time in the 90's there were a number of old S-55 helicopters, as well as an S-55 from Court Line South Africa.
It was all owned by Bill Armstrong who was the main original founder of Autair Airlines and Helicopters.
