I will be writing an obituary for Paul, so if anyone can shed light on his early years at Bristow, please feel free to pm me with any details or recollection.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, Bondu.
Indeed he is the guy that I knew and I worked with him although I never flew with him. I was in Bristows, before being made redundant in 1999, and then going across to BIH the following year at Penzance, followed by going down to the sunny South Atlantic, so that must have been where I met him. Did he ever work for British International, or am I confusing him with someone else, or has my memory become somewhat befuddled over the years?
Rest in Peace, Paul, and my sincere condolences to your family.
