Staff at British International Helicopters in Penzance have been called in to help out on an unusual mission on a National Trust Estate in the North West of England. The Company was asked to airlift parts of a giant children's play area onto an inaccessible hillside at the historic Lyme Park in Cheshire. The team behind the project at Lyme Park decided that the structure could not be built on site, and the only option was to winch the materials in from above. At the centre of the structure, known as a playscape, are four wooden pyramids each weighing several tonnes. Each is 12 metres high, equivalent to three double decker buses on top of one another. | ||

A VIP welcome awaited the four millionth customer Mrs Kay Ireland. Kay, from Wimborne in Dorset, has been visiting the islands for more than 50 years and said she was "amazed" and "delighted" by the welcome laid on for her at the heliport. | ||
| ||
| British International have taken the decision to sell the land at Penzance to Sainsbury's. This will have no impact on the service from now until the end of the 2011 season. | ||
| ||
British International is pleased to announce that the Company has been awarded the new Plymouth FOST Contract, which starts in April 2011 and runs for an initial 10 year period, with the MoD having the option to extend for a further 5 years to 2026. The Company is looking forward to successfully continuing with the new contract when it starts in 2011. | ||
| ||
In February 2007 British International started to provide a fully crewed S61 helicopter flying in support of an oil drilling operation from a base at Donegal Airport, Northern Ireland and due to the success of this, the Contract now continues to the end of 2008. | ||
| ||
British International is pleased to announce that our S61 Simulator's visual system was upgraded to a full colour version in October 2008. | ||
| ||
| We are currently in the process of renewing our support contract with Air Southwest for the Fixed Wing fleet. | ||
| ||
