Djibouti

Djibouti

In 1986 Bristows deployed AS332L, G-TIGI to Djibouti to support Occidental's 90 day drilling programme offshore Somalia. The round trip distance to the drillship was appoximately 1000 miles!! with a refuelling stop in Berbera, Somalia.

G-TIGI out on a hot apron at the main international airport in Djibouti and as usual, no hangar! The aircraft was operating through the Winter so the temperatures were down to a chilly 35C!!
