I used to fly G-AZOM in Aberdeen in 1983. We used to do a flight to inspect the Oxy pipeline. Routing was ABZ - Piper A - KWL - ABZ and it mostly used to take place on a Sunday. Lunch and a stock up of "biscuits" on the Piper A. The flight number was 61A. At other times, G-AZOM was based in Inverness to fill in for the Bell 206 when it was undergoing maintenance.

G-AZOM was leased to Bond in 1985 and was written off after a tail rotor failure of some description. The final resting place is somewhere in The Wash off East Anglia.

I never liked the BO105 much. Politically incorrectly, it was known as Hitler's Revenge.
