G-RAYN Helicopter operations

[ICEHOUSES]

Out of aviation interest does anybody happen to know who this helicopter G-RAYN operates for, it seems to operate between stoke on Trent and Newcastle almost every weekday, transiting low level over Manchester, sometimes twice a day at similar times for the last 12 months or more, I imagine it is some kind of corporate operation but could be wrong, any replies are appreciated.

East Midlands Helicopters. Based at Costock.

I don't know who but supposedly a daily commute.

I’ve very recently heard rumours of possibly unjustified complaints about this aircraft. Sounds like a case of the green eyed monster again.

Someone asked this question not so long ago and got a blank reply.

It’s the owner of a large on-line betting company commuting between home and office. Should change soon as a new home (with helipad) is under construction just north of Stoke.

The owner, as in DC? If so, are you sure they currently live in the North East?

[ETOPS]

Yes the house - and surrounding land purchases - are not quite finished. Also there are lights to be installed at the new helipad.

Didn't realise G-RAYN flies up and back twice a day.

If this is G-RAYN, it wont be flying anywhere for a while. Yesterday in Wales apparently

I believe the ownership changed a couple of months ago, so same aircraft but different operator
