Night Landings

Just to give you a flavour of what it means to land on a platform at night here is a short video clip of a landing on one of the better platforms in the North Sea. believe me they come a lot worse than this. The movie was shot from the LH DV window of a 365 using a Fuji Finepix 4.0. The lurch mid sequence is when I had to arm the floats for my long-suffering skipper. Just look how black the world is on a dark moonless night. Now how do you fancy a bit of night vfr?
