Seeing your post on the CH-77 jogged my memory, way back in the early 90s we had it's predecessor the Elisport CH-7 Angel in the UK aptly registered G-HALO on 12.11.93. At the time I was working with Lothian Helicopters using Yorkshire Helicopter Centres Jetrangers for pleasure flying. I was at Finningley Air Show where it was on static display and it then pulled into the Yorkshire Helicopter Centre site in Doncaster where I photographed it. Interesting to note back then it was an Elisport ? When did they start calling the company Helisport.

Lovely photo Elipix .. and why am I not surprised that you even have a shot of an 'early' EliSport!
EliSport changed their name to Heli-Sport in 1997, most probably for marketing reasons as some outside Italy don't easily identify with the missing 'H'.
AFAIK there isn't a single CH-77 in the UK and which I have found surprising.
A little history on the CH-7 in case you are interested: http://www.redbackaviation.com/ch-7-...ter-evolution/

Thats an interesting article which I will complete reading tomorrow, There has only ever been G-HALO in the UK and so far no CH-77s
