S58ET and W60

G-BCTX brings back many memories. Worked extensively on her in Aberdeen and Sumburgh. Among the fleet of Bristow S58T's she was probably the most tempermental. In 1979 she was sold to Astra Helicopters in South Africa along with G-BCRV and G-BCRW with me tagging on behind. In SA she was completely different, perhaps the climate was more to her liking!! I left SA in 1981 and don't know what happened to the S58's after that. By the way, they were left in Bristow colors, even after paint striping one it went back into Bristow colors. Never did find out the real story to that - if there even was one!
