When filling up the car with fuel, few of us think about all the people and businesses involved in getting it from the sea bed to the pump. Offshore workers, refinery staff and tanker drivers are obvious. But what about helicopter pilots and air traffic controllers? This presentation describes the helicopter flying and Air Traffic Control operations that support the UK North Sea Oil and Gas industry. Fifty litres of unleaded will never seem the same!

Scotland set for a blizzard battering as more snow is on the way, forecasters warn
The East of Scotland will be subjected to a relentless stream of snow showers throughout the weekend, according the Met Office.
STRONG winds have been pushing snow on to the east coast from the North Sea and forecasters predict this will continue into next week.
"Frequent, and occasionally heavy, snow showers", with snowfall is expected to be as deep as two to four inches and as much as six inches on higher ground, the Met Office has forecast. The wind is predicted to continue to intensify poor conditions with the "drifting of lying snow in the strong-to-gale-force south-easterly winds".
