MAC senior (ie my father) is visiting in Toronto at present and his screensaver mode on the laptop has a load of OLD pictures from his earlier days as a helicopter pilot on the North sea.
I was surprised to see one of Elizabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane from Dr Who..and now of course the "Sarah Jane adventures") standing next to my father in front of an S61 on some oil rig deck off the coast of Shetland. The logo on the picture was from a kids TV show called Merry go Round..which I am not old enough to remember. They were doing some offshore filming for this show.
MAC senior told me that she and the entire crew were the nicest people you could wish to meet (and she was well known at the time thanks to Dr Who) and were a pleasure to fly...asking questions and being genuinely interested. Probably difficult to act like a t*** on a helicopter...but still fond memories I am told.
Even better...once back on dry land she and the film crew took the pilots and ground crew out to the pub that evening (in Lerwick)..so no doubt some warm toasts were shared!
