This helicopter was shuttling passengers from a temporary helipad in a field near Furtho, Northamptonshire, (Coordinates: 52.079227, -0.864512), into Silverstone Circuit where the 1989 British F1 Grand Prix was being held. In August 1997 it was sold to Norsk Helicopters in Norway as LN-OND and moved on to Bristow Australia in 2007 as VH-BZB. It was restored to the British register as G-BLXS in August 2014 but was reportedly stored at Fleetlands Heliport, Hampshire, still wearing it's Australian registration until cancelled by the CAA in November 2019.
