@ MazdaDriver - I hate to ruin your "renewed sense of optimism" but my statements are based on info received from different sources, my own experiences and sometimes even facts, which all together form my opinion.
My "definitely not Bristow" statement arises from the facts Bristow has informed their staff they lost SNS Shell, they are making EC155 crews etc. redundant and they have 2 out of 3 EC155's for sale..... Hence my conclusion
