Hi Bandit

Great photos of the helicopter!

Can you answer these 2 questions for me please

1 who owns the helicopters and

2 is the red paint a special shade - I've never seen it before

...and don't reply it's Irish Coastguard red!!

All the best from Scotland

[BANDIT]

Sorry with late reply ,firstly thanks for comments
the helecopters belong to CHC who to the best of my
knowledge are a american company
the red paint scheme is on all their fleet of sr-61,s
also I think they have a sar helecopter based in holland
I hope this answers your question
thanks for looking

Hi Bandit

I think the helicopter is actually designated an S-61N, rather than SR-61. Not trying to be clever, just trying to help.

Owned by CHC (ireland) I believe who were originally a Canadian company (hence the first "C" in the name), however I believe a couple of years ago they were bought by a financial investment company in the USA.
