Jemy,
There was a time when the only landings on the Brent Spar at night were done by the 212s as its unusual motion and strange crane positioning could catch out pilots who didn't land there on a very regular basis, and even with the 212's there was a tail strike on the crane by Clanger L, a very experienced 212 pilot and TRE. We even used to shut down on there and I found the motion made me feel quite sick in a fairly short time.
Does anyone know what dear old Henry Boyt is doing now? His dog and mine (and occasionally Henry and I) used to share an office many years back when he was running the British Gas pipeline survey operation. Mike Ginn was also based there then.
I've been doing more clearing to prepare a nursery and have found some more old photos. I'll try and scan them if I have time over the wekend.
