Bristow EC155s

I see from the latest issue of Pilot magazine that Bristow Helicopters have registered 2 EC155 B1s G-ISSV + G-ISSW.

Does anybody know where they are going to be used? Can I fly it on my EC365N2 rating

No. FCL 2.220 app1 says it is a standalone type rating.

Anybody know what the future holds for the S76's then , adhoc availability or off to pastures new.

Sure the 155 will be a leap forward in technology and performance.
