Any truth to the rumour that a Bond Helicopters, "Dauphin" gets caught by the wind and gets knocked on it's side on one of the Kinsale Oil rigs off the coast of Cork, Ireland, about a week ago.
I hear that they flew out in an S61 to winch down the Techies. Did someone forget to tie the Dauphin down ?????
It now should be on it's way back to Scotland in a big box.......

Just a rumour..........

Yes this is correct. Not sure of the details as why it was not tied down. It is now in the hanger at Abz for accessment.
