Instantly recognisable as the
helicopter used to ferry Anneka Rice
and Annabel Croft around the countryside
in seven series of Treasure Hunt on Channel 4,
G-BHXU was to perform a much smaller role in Interceptor.

This aircraft retained the same registration
throughout her life from 1981 until her sad
demise in 1995. Her livery remained reasonably
consistent as well. Exceptions - a picture
on the Castle Air website indicates that
the dark brown areas were once black
and in later years she was repainted
entirely white for an episode of
"Wycliffe" in which her pilot Keith
Thompson had a role as a Police pilot.
