bring back the BV 234

It was in the late 80s I flew the Chinook helicopter out to the rigs for Shell & British Airways Helicopters - there was a fleet of 6 of them.
It was really handy having an endurance of 4 hours, 140kt cruise carrying 45 pax with refreshments,
cabin crew and a loo!
I still have my certificate from Boeing
for 1000 hours on the aircraft.
It sounds as if the Chinook is required once again.
