I think the 76 flies better on one engine than the 212. The rig was 100 nm out to sea, so it took over 1 hour. The main problem was on getting airborne he said he was on 1 engine, not 2, & so Melbourne thought he had an engine failure & put a phase on him. He didn't know they had, so he didn't cancel it or send in a report.
Arthur joined Bristow on the North Sea & became a 10,000 hour plus co-pilot from which he retired to Perth & became a courier driver, much the same job really!
I think Alan got fired from Commercial Helicopters for letting Bill W punch him in the Wyndham pub!
Oh happy days!!
