Why did the British government let this sort of thing happen. Bristow was taken over by the worst helicopter company in the world- American I may add. In Nigeria when I worked there, I was asked by a senior oil company executive who now ran Bristow I replied Air Logistics to be told that his company would never have contemplated a contract with them. I suspect Bond have a similar situation- we should never have let American companies into our situation! Waiting for your reply SAS.
