While searching for the requested information I stumbled over civil flights to EGYP. Seems those were operated by flyglobespan. Since they ceased ops: are there any takers of their route to Europe?

I believe there's one of each (apart from the 'Phoons).

1564 flt are based there with 2x Sea Kings.
There are also 2x S-61s operated by British International Helicopters there as well. Don't know whether you want to include them or not as a bonus. My guess is depends whether we have a suitable model or not.

That's the sort of thing.
Can I ask what scenery that is?

It's the ACG one that is currently Work In Progress-I just saw it on their forum.
