Odd, Bond's press release the other day said they had just upped their order to 7.... Also depends on the definition of "delivery". If it means "handing the keys over", then yes, they did that. The aircraft is not delivered to Aberdeen yet. Gotta wait till the weekend for that.
Red? - you can just about make out the reg is G-REDK.. well, the first 5 are G-REDJ to N inclusive. so they have to be RED, OK?!!

I don't wish to be piccy but i read the Reg as REDN.
Why will the weekend change anything?
Does some lucky chap get to fly them up from France?

In a true demonstration of the entent cordiale, they've given it two registrations: an F and a G. As a further show of Anglo-French relations, have they painted a tricolour on the other side of the tailboom ? (Or should that be troiscoleur ?)

BS, you can be as piccy about the piccy as you like, but the original (much larger) JPG image clearly showed G-REDK and the French test reg as F-WWOM up on the engine cowling. Down on the tail is "BAS002", the internal ECF code for the second aircraft in the order, consistent with REDK being the second in the J to N series. I expect that both the factory code and test reg will be removed by the time it enters UK airspace.
Well now...being a Redneck, who enjoys red wine, red meat, red haired lassies, Red Roses.....maybe Wingnut will remember me from days gone by and let me drive a Red Tigerish looking machine....after all....I am one of the boys from Redhill.
Thanks folks,
Just beating the air into submission!

Bond Offshore have definitely got the BP "Jigsaw" work with one aircraft being based offshore and one in Shetland.
Evidently only looking for SAR qualified Captains and Winch Operators. Supposedly have all the co-pilots and the winchman will be ex-HEMS Paramedics. Will only advertsie if they cannot get the personnel they want from applying to them direct.
If you haven't got a SAR Command backgound or no SAR winch operator experience, probably not worth applying!
