I am not surprised you recall the name Betelgeuse, it was the name of 5N-AJK, which rolled over in Port Harcourt, which was just the second of its accident prone life. The first being featured in post 5, on page One.

In the mid seventies, while at PH, Redhill sent us a list of names to be used on the fleet, one of the Wessex names was supposed to be "Invader", which seeing the political situation at the time, did not seem a very good idea, so chief Pilot Mark Wilkins said "blow that", and we called it after a well site in Nigeria.
