Yves Leroy

I knew Yves about 1971 working for Bristow on a Mobil seismic job in Lhoksukon, Aceh, Sumatra. One afternoon he was making a late supply run to the field and got caught in a rainstorm. They lost radio contact with him and were about to send out the other 206 to look for him. Finally he came on the radio and said, "I am following zee Lambretta." In ten minutes or so, he landed safely. He had set down in a field during the storm and was out of radio range. He flew back just above the road. Great guy.
