Bad continuity
G-ORMA had a very low APS weight and was used for the flying with the people suspended underneath and some of the filming with 250kgs of camera kit attached.
G-ICSG weighed a ton and was used for static shots and low take-off weight flights from the roof in London.
The filming of the 355's took some weeks and was not shot in the same order as it appears on screen, and I think G-ORMA had gone onto a contract when it came to filming the second lot of London stuff so wasn't available.
The Mil-8 was Hungarian registered and operated (based in Budaors) and was brought to Jurby from a contract in Austria.

Noticed the same thing watching the film tonight - PPrune is amazing, "search" really can be your friend!!! But I have another Storm breaker question.....
....in the final scenes the helipad is on the north of the Thames on a high-rise building east of the Millenium wheel but west of St Pauls...which building is this?
I have worked many a year in London, some of the time in the rough vicinity of this pad and have never seen any heli-ops on rooftops, can someone satisfy my idle curiosity.
Thanks

The London High - Rise Building
It's the International Press Centre in Charterhouse St.
Other than the London Hospital, it's the only rooftop landing site available in London.
You have to have a good reason to use it though...... the helicopter operator has to pay the building owners a hefty (£10K+) 'facility fee' and prove massive insurance cover. Then they have to provide substantial Fire & Rescue cover, have the pilot base & line checked onto the roof and be in possession of a Flight Manual Supplement drawn up by the UK's friendly Eurocopter agent (so probably a bargain price).
It's been used several times for films and TV - Stormbreaker, a Barclaycard advert, and a pop promo come to mind but there have probably been a few more.
