On the trip the guys made to see the Martin Mars fly, we stopped by Victoria International Airport on Vancouver Island. Round the back of the field, there were two S-61 airframes sitting doing nothing in particular. One was in the markings of British International Helicopters. It has been a very long time since I last heard of that operation. Apparently, the company has gone through various incarnations over the years. It did operate scheduled flights to the Scilly Isles off Cornwall with S-61s so maybe this airframe came from that service. Has it been sitting here ever since?
How Long Since This S-61 Flew?
