It may be G-BEOO which was cancelled from the UK register on 16/10/98 returning to the UK register ex N261F Pacific helicopters ?

Don't know how certain Airbus is of the 'last two' of the S-61N sighting. Could I offer G-BDOC as an alternative candidate. To back-up this theory, G-BDOC has been in a 'US style' white and diagonal red 'Coast Guard' colour scheme and titles with Bristows at Aberdeen for several years. Googling the regn brings up a number of photo links.

Odd to have G-BEOO S-61N re-imported at a time many are being replaced by S-92s.
