Just arrived back in Cyprus with all those Bristow pics..

This rather bashed up Bell 212 could probably be the first Bristow helicopter I worked on. Never seen the picture before. After leaving BA my first job at Redhill was on a Bell 212 rebuild that had crashed onto a pipeline in Egypt. So that would be 1979/80?
No info on the photo itself so any background information would be appreciated.

....and talking of 212 rebuilds, here is my latest one, stuffed full of Bristow mods, on a very successful first ground run, Friday morning. Not very exciting, I admit, but we have to "run in" the new gearboxes before we can throw it around the sky.

Oh yeah! and the small matter of clearing the mountain of paperwork and getting through the CAA audit
