DFD: Thank you kindly for sharing your Brecqhou memories with us, fantastic!

I have read that the island manager, Mark Harrisson, is a former driver!

Thank you too for bringing-up the former Barlclaycraft:


Brecqhou Development Agusta 109C G-BVNH at Guernsey Airport in August 1994 (Photo: Air-Britain)

Every story has a beginning and the one which ends in Glaxo buying their own aircraft began in 1980 when my godfather approached them with such a proposal. Between 1980-82 he worked on an off with their head office in supplying 'numbers' and making pitches supporting helicopter ownership. He also travelled around many of their sites both in the UK and Belgium and I accompanied him on several of these trips. I mention Glaxo because it was their 109C which became G-BVNH above.

For those interested, some Brecqhou Island rotary-wing history here.
