Turkmenistan 2008
July 2008
Some pics taken while operating 2 S76A++ out of Turkmenbashy, Turkmenistan, servicing the Caspian Sea.
2 x S76A++
(EZ-S703 - Helicopter Resources machine, and EZ-S704, formerly G-BJFL)
And a cat.
On the pan.
Caspian coastline.
Shutdown on the Mopu
Shutdown on the Trident 20
Return to Turkmenbashy
Rotors turning on the Explorer
On the way back to base. Turkmenbashy on the coast, Petronas oil refinery in the foreground.
Lee Burnett and myself keeping cool. OAT at Turkmenbashy 45oC. In the capital Ashkabad it was 52oC.
Try to say that quickly 5 times! Translates to Turkmenistan Airlines, Bristow's joint venture partner in Turkmenistan.
Sleeping on the job again! Another day at the sharp end.

Aye aye...
That last photo has clearly been doctored.
No one is ever going to believe that the wind was actually blowing down the runway at Scatsta. Please re-post the photo with the wind sock in the correct orientation (90 degrees to the runway centerline). Thank you

S61s at Sumburgh
What a beautiful sight of the S61s in the hangar at Sumburgh. They look as good as new, a credit to Bristow Engineering. Made me feel quite nostalgic.

1975 Bristow S55 London Gatwick (LGW)
Normally, I wouldn't intrude, especially when the picture is a lot less than the standard normally posted, but it is hopefuly of some historical interest

Oldlae.
I bow to your superior knowledge, for me it was an unnexpected 'target of opportunity' hence the poor quality shot, not helped by being scanned from a 30+ year old print of even more dubious quality.
However it confirms my 'outsider view that Bristow Machines (and therefore their crews) tend to have 'interesting lives;.
Looks like g-aynp taking off for Redhill after contract in South Africa

Leigh Bannister
From Leigh Bannister - Aircraft Engineers Bulletin Board
To the many friends he had around the world, some sad news. Leigh Bannister died on Friday 29th Feb after a short illness in Nigeria.
Leigh had over 30 years employment in Bristows, he was 54.
A great loss.

The picture of G-AYNP at Gatwick 'after contract in South Africa' is not the aircraft that was in Durban, sadly that one went for a very long swim in the Indian Ocean one night,and was never seen again!
Crew were O.K. picked up after many hours in the water.
