Listing the helicopters by their numbers, as you have done; merely cut and paste into another post, with your name so nobody would think it were "my" list! Before I saw your posts in the Helicopters forum, I did not know much about B & S brand except that the company trade mark was an elephant and that the firm made wind-up toys.

Something like this:

#634, Police Helicopter, 20 cm L, friction, plastic rotor, blue with white details.
#635, Rescue Helicopter, 25 cm L, battery, metal rotor, red with yellow and green details.

So on and so forth !

hurray!
I just bought a 567 BEA with lights!

Here is a link to an auction that features an un-cut tin sheet from the Air Taxi helicopter. I first saw this on a thread from the "Danefield" web site about toy robots. The skewed number "570" on the metal is what the collectors mean by "anamorphose." The numbers look crooked when the metal is flat. They look straight once the toy has been pressed into shape.
