Slightly of topic
I was going offshore for 2 weeks to Seafox 4 in 2010 during the World championships football.
SF4 was just on the UK side of the southern North Sea for Shell. There was a weekly (Dutch) crew change flight from Den Helder on which I was added.
There were low hanging clouds over the SF4.
After 4 rounds through the clouds over the SF4, the legs were not in sight and we diverted to Norwich. We waited several hours at the base of ....? in the PortaCabins just North of Bristow hangars.
I think we flew with DanCopter or the likes from Den Helder in a AS365.

I cannot remember the base/operator on Norwich side?

After a night over in a down town hotel. We had an uneventful flight to SF4 the next day and 2 weeks of beautiful weather and football offshore.
The Dutch made it to the finals.
