Can you tell me the dates that the Pilot Service was running. I was recruited by BCal(H) in late 79 and told I was destined for that project but having done my Bo105 TR with CP and a week or so on the MetPol contract Frayne and I were 'lent' to North Scottish for their newly won Shell contract out of Sumburgh.

You will be amused to know that having arrived on day one of the Sumburgh venture I was able to put my woodworking skills to good use and built all the office furniture and fittings for the Ops Office with some plywood sheets ferried up from ADN and a box of tools bought with the petty cash in Lerwick.

FC and I even flew together on one occasion thereby claiming the first flight on the North Sea by a BCal(H) S61 crew. After 3 months we came back to Shoreham and prepared to set up ADN with G-BHPU.
