Bristow Sumburgh - End Of An Era

[S61-S92]

Some of the Fixed Wing Visitors from Days Gone By

I wonder which oil company this Bandy was on contract to ????



and finally, Sumburgh's biggest visitor. I recall getting a phone call at the Bristow Hangar back in 1981 from Mike Hallums who was over at the Wilsness Line Office... "Have you got your camera, a Boeing 737 has just landed!". I didn't believe a word of it as we never heard it landing, over at the hangar... but we certainly heard it take off - and it used every last inch of runway 15/33 !!!!! (Maersk 737 diverted because of fog at Faeroe's.)
