Late seventies. A British Airways Helicopter doing a double to the Claymore. After leaving the Claymore on the first one the crew complained to the radio operator that a sandwich wasn't enough. The operator apologised and told them that the camp boss had decreed that was all they could have.

They replied stating that as they hadn't received a proper lunch then they would shut down for an hour at Aberdeen in order to do so.

The word got around the platform and the camp boss was nearly lynched by the second rotation.
