Thank you Eurostar on that note:

The Bell 430 entered service in 1996 In 1998, some 50 Bell 430 were in service with 9,000 flight hours totaled.

On September 3, 1996, Americans Ron Bower and John Williams broke the round-the-world helicopter record with the second Bell 430, flying westwards from the UK with a time of 17 days, 6 hours and 14 minutes!
