It's many years since I last saw Steve.
We flew a (then Bond) Super Puma to Blackpool in '87. The Tory party conference was on and we were tasked with flying 19 Conservative MPs out to the Morecambe bay rigs for a "look see". They were like a bunch of excited schoolkids.
The next day we were tasked with taking Mr Cecil Parkinson and his entourage out. I just remember the press were keen to photograph him in his rubber survival suit and he was not so keen! When we got back to Blackpool, shut down and Steve opened the cabin door he was given a wonderfully patronising "Well done" from the pompous git.
Really enjoyed that task away from Aberdeen, Steve. Knew you enjoyed being Blackpool Chief Pilot. RIP
