Yves Le Roy
Surely there can only be one Yves Le Roy. I had the privilege of working with him in Aberdeen and Trengannu in the 70`s and 80`s. He had a fund of stories about working for Bristow in the very early days flying Bell 47`s in Bolivia on seismic survey, having to make his own maps on the way out with pax so he could find his way back after dropping off. Sadly he could not be convinced to commit his experiences to paper, maybe he will have second thoughts. He also had a stunning record of his travels on cine film which I am sure would be a winner if he could link them together.
We all enjoyed working with him, with his endearing thickly accented English. My two year old son appeared before us one day after a day `on the island` with Yves and Francois and announced, " Eeef you do not like eet, I put eet back in my trousers!" No guesses who had been giving him elocution lessons. Hope to see you again soon Yves.
