Hi Simon

Nice to hear from you again.

Reading this is Haverfordwest where I will be moving to soon. Finally decided to hang up the gloves and enjoy retirement.

I remember being detached to Sumburgh in 1973. We used to live in the Scalloway Hotel up by Lerwick and drive to and from Sumburgh every day.

I also seem to remember that I did the the first BHL SAR job escorting a Bond S76A in with engine probs. Struggled to keep up. Its Captain was one Ash Llewellyn-Thomas (RIP)

I will have to read PPrune more often as my suggestion to BHL Management to keep us Retirees in the link with what is going on in the Company seems to fallen on deaf ears. The quarterly mag would be nice...........

John
