BAH never had anything to do with the shuttle. G-LINK was operated by BCalH. It was not in being in 1979 because as speechless 2 rightly says, BCalHs first S61 was a dry lease from KLM Helicopters and the crews received their groundschool training in Holland in 1980. The interior was not the standard North Sea fit S61. Even after the service was terminated due to noise protesters, noise complaints continued to be received. 'Bishop' Bill Ashpole wasBCal's man on the job when it was running.
