Annual British Petroleum/Bristow Helicopters Golf Outing.
Perth Golf Club is going to be the venue so a Bristow Tiger is loaded and off they go. A courtesy call to Perth airfield before landing at the course.
"I hope you can find it; we're socked in with fog."
Having failed to check the weather at their destination they were forced to turn back to Aberdeen. There they bundled the BP boys into the passenger lounge and searched for another gold course. Nairn was prepared to accept them so passengers rebriefed and off they went.
Arrive at Nairn, espy the course and there is a big crowd awaiting them so they land on a clear stretch of grass by the clubhouse. No 2 goes out to check that it is OK to shut down there to be met by irate club secretary: They had arrived in the middle of their monthly medals tournament.
Wrong golf course.
The second time was lucky and the day progressed but a little bit more rushed than planned.
When they arrived back at Aberdeen the rumour goes that BP were highly unimpressed. Next time the Forties contract renewal came up Bristow lost it.
