It's All Relative

WhoKnows??

BBR's not that old - compared with AQL, the NNPC 355s, the Bristow 76A++s and early 412s - and possibly the Super Pumas - or the Caverton 365N . It's main problem is that it was always terribly heavy after being loaded up with all the kit Maersk put on it in Esbjerg (plus the RNAV2 memory which was chock-full of old North Sea waypoints which nobody got around to getting removed by Racal - or their successors, Thales). It and BBS were the heaviest N2s around. It's had an interesting journey after being ferried here from Denmark, then ferried to Sudan. How did it get from there to Kish and from Kish to Alan Mann's? I know it came here as airfreight to Accra and then under its own steam again (OK - it's not old enough to be steam propelled )
