Blue S-92 overhead

I watched a blue coloured S-92 come trundling overhead the other day westbound towards Cornwall (I am in Devon) in Southwest England.
This is the first time i've seen an S-92 and the noise was something unlike any other helicopter. It makes a weird drone, once every second or so a bit like the old Heinkel 111s did in WW2 if you get my drift.
Who does this rather large private helicopter belong too?
Thanks

Was this the kiddie?

It's operated by Air Harrods and is on the N register.

G-LAWS

G-LAWS was bought by Mr Tony Jones off British International down in Penzance. Its been Reregister as G-VIPZ I think but you see it often parked in the hangar.

Blue S-92 overhead

Jonnylove, with regard to G-VIPZ (prev G-DAWS, G-LAWS) isn;'t it operated by ELite Aviation but leased by Air Harrods? I remember the old G-LAWS in its splendor at Farnborough 2000

I wonder if British International are maintaining the aircraft for Elite Aviation or or if G-VIPZ is being leased to BI for Penzance routes as it has been seen there?

I had the pleasure of seeing the Blue 92 a month back at Helitech!!
