Tiger was just the Bristow name for the Super Puma.

Marketed by the brilliant Lawrence Bristow (son of Alan) it did, indeed cruise at 145 knots at 16.5 degrees of pitch burning 1240 lbs of fuel per hour at 2000' until they all fell apart. MGBs, MRH Frequency Adaptors, oil coolers cracking, cockpit doors etc, until the company saw sense.

Even a toilet behind the Co-Pilot with a privacy curtain until they all got blocked with the previous night's curry and a copy of the P&J (best use of the P&J)

19 pax, direct to the ESB arriving at the Thistle with a Murchison diversion (600lb of fuel approx on arrival)
