(I know Bristow will get a multi engine in the future as well)
Well they have had value for money out of the old single engine girl! Anyone know what they are considering?
Hal Bohne & I were the first two Bristow Bods to complete a single engine UK CAA IR on AV Dubble India back on 27th July 1981 with Don Sissons as Examiner.
Charles was marrying Princess Di the same day!
All you had to do afterwards was a simple twin engine upgrade - involving an engine emergency followed by single engine go around and subsequent approach - once again with a CAA Examiner in attendance. In my case this took twice as long as the initial SE test due to being screwed around by Aberdeen ATC! - memories of Charles Waldron peering over my shoulder for just short of 2 hours - everything was assessable even if it was not required for the test!
Those halcyon days!
