HC...
I guess you are the only person that never heard of the Bristow "Tiger"...close hold information...along with the registration number to that effect even.
What was it....G-TIGR and other G-TIG_ registrations. They also have a simulator....based on the "Tiger" version of the Super Puma.....and have the same "Tiger" Super Puma in Australia.
From results of a Google search....
Bristow Helicopters operates a modern fleet of over 120 aircraft, including the world's largest commercial fleet of the 18-passenger Super Puma. Bristow's experience in operating these long-range, harsh-environment aircraft surpasses that of any other operator.
Bristow provides services from several strategic locations in the UK and Norway for offshore related activity. The northern and central locations of the North Sea are serviced from Aberdeen - Scotland, Stavanger - Norway and Scatsta in the Shetland Islands. The 18 seater Super Puma 'the Bristow Tiger' is the main helicopter type in use. The fleet also comprises Mark II Super Pumas operating in Norway
Yo Nick...maybe this guy doesn't work for Bristow....or he is not being completely forthright in his responses here.
He says he does not work for EC...but does work as a pilot on the North Sea but does no know of the Bristow Tiger....maybe he is just Lu in disguise? Lu...if that is you ...knock it off old man!
