Bristow in Beirut?

Do my eyes deceive me, or is this a BHL S-61 in the photo? If so, where from?

BBC News - In pictures: Ethiopian airliner crashes off Beirut (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/8478201.stm)

Thanks - it makes sense now :ok:

Surprising that the conditions of sale didn't include removing the Bristow livery.
However, if it's good publicity....

The client wanted all shiny, ahem, "NEW" S61's and as the first was in our paint scheme they wanted the rest the same.
