Bristow Sumburgh - End Of An Era (with Sumburgh Airport History)

After a 36 year presence at Sumburgh Airport in Shetland, Bristow today gave up the lease on the hangar and handed the keys back to the airport owners.

I had the task of handing the place over and having spent a significant part of my Bristow career based there, it was a sad day.

There have been lots of good times and a few bad times, and names and some characters that we will never forget.

There can't be many Bristow guys (and ex Bristow guys!) who haven't "done time" at Sumburgh over the years, and I bet there are some good photos and stories out there, so please share your memories here.

I took a few pics today of how the place now looks... it's a bit run down (a bit like me!) but hasn't changed that much over the years.

If these pics work, I will add some more memories later.










Would the last person to leave Bristow Sumburgh please switch the lights out...
Well that'll be me then... EH !
