the bases, housing etc, are not owned by the Govt, but by Bristow.
That may apply at the moment, Bristow may even keep their facilities at Sumburgh, for aircraft passing through to the ESB, but I doubt it. There is always the old BIH hangar across the pad, if it's still useable!!
Can't see them keeping anything for Stornoway. They have no need for staying there at all. Would imagine the hangar is leased.

Did any of the CHC pilots have an in-depth knowledge of Waterford or Sligo before moving there? No, you just get on and learn the area! Doesn't take that long, maps are available!!
