Here you see Geoff Evans and Richard (Dicky) Vaux at the birth of British Caledonian Helicopters. The display of tools is to highlight the entire tool collection for our one Sikorsky S61 that had been leased from KLM and put on the British Register by Marshals of Cambridge. Not sure what an AOC required in those days but Geoff was our one licensed engineer and Dicky our Base Manager. Together with Mike Webber, Dave Sale and Frayne Coulshaw we opened our portakabin offices at Aberdeen and began the business from scratch.
Geoff I believe went down under but have lost touch with him. Dicky unfortunately died of cancer back in about 1983. Lovely guys, both of them and fun to work with. Those were the days......... wish I could remember the name of our Aberdonian lass who became 'Girl Friday' and kept us all in order.
