212Man....was that a Bell 212 operating out of Warri and a Bell 206 from Escravos?
A couple of those encounters spring to mind where the 206's either did not report or mis-reported their location or crossing near the Warri helibases.
I had one of those myself during the dusty season.
No, it was a 155 in the PH zone, but one of the same 206s. It reenforced my dislike for the wooden screens we used to install for IF trips - if we’d had them I wouldn’t be here! I was observing the crew, and thankfully other things too!
