Bristows S61Ns To Amsterdam

I have noticed that about 3 of the Bristows/Coast Guard S61Ns have recently been delivered to Amsterdam. Have they been sold or are they operating a contract over there.

If so, they have been replaced by CHC S-92s.

To replace JSAR. S61's not young enough for the U.K. MCA but o.k. for Shell!! Hmmm.

Thanks Gents especially Bravo 73 for pointing me in the direction of the other thread.

On that subject is G-JSAR a write off or did they manage to fish it out before it sank?

JSAR was fished out before it sank (well actually it beached itself) but as far as I am aware there is still no decision whether to rebuild or scrap. One suspects there could be considerable corrosion by now but I am no expert!
The accident investigation is ongoing.
