Mysterious Robinson R66

Dear Forum Members,


I took a video of a Robinson R66 in Oxfordshire, but I can't find an identity for it.The last two letters of the registration appear to be HL, but a search of G-Info reveals no such registration. Other distinctive markings were a Help for Heroes logo on the rotorshaft shroud, and the company logo with what looks like a www. address. I contacted London Oxford Airport ATC yesterday.They were, to my surprise, very helpful and checked their stored radar data for the 8th September 2016.They had picked up the helicopter but were unable to identify it because its transponder, if fitted, wasn't switched on. This is really bugging me. Someone out there must know the identity of this helicopter and the operator. I have posted a video of it on Youtube, 'Robinson R66 landing in Oxfordshire'.


No prizes for the correct answer but a pat on the back.

Exactly why his first attempt went to the bin; this one got past the keeper but will join the other Yorker. Unless Foxtrot1 contacts me with a plausible reason for wanting this ID he can stay in the changing rooms.
