Yup, I'll give you that one. There is a single AW189 on contract in Aberdeen, which mainly plies it's trade to and from the Forties with Bristow. Six years since certification and only one machine in regular use in the Northern N Sea, it's hardly the revolution that was being "talked" about. By contrast there's about a 80 active O&G S92s between the UK and Norway.
