Nope I have no personal time in exploders offshore. However a fair few are being used by the rig pigs in various countries, and they do well. For small distances they have good payload (especially with 207 engines) . Can winch, underslung loads. Now that it has come of age so to speak in UK I know who has the new contract for the lighthouse game and hope they do well at it. Your right in saying good old bertie bolkow was and is a great machine but it has had its day (haven't we all) and have been overtaken by the youngsters. Skids and ships are always a hard game so that would be fun if some one gave me the chance I would love to do that.
