Post Helecopter operations in the North Sea

Hi, I'm trying to find out if there are any books(non fiction) which have been written by pilots who have worked, or are working,on flights to/from oil rigs in the North Sea.I remember reading an article in Pilot magazine a few years ago by a lady pilot but can't remember her name.
Thanks.

Dinky,
Normally I wouldn't be so petty as to post on this forum just to correct someone's spelling mistakes, but I'm getting bored waiting for my next flight and the caffeine low level warning light is flashing, so what the Hell. It's H E L I C O P T E R with an "i". Okay, I feel better now.

Sometimes it can be " Hell et Copters "

Her name is Mo Jones. She works for Bristow, in Aberdeen. She writes good articles and she is also a very talented artist. She has painted scenes of flying in the North Sea.
You can always try to reach her care of Bristow Aberdeen.

Dinky,
When I was at highschool(1980) there was a book published called Helicopter Rescue. In it was some great stories and photos of the air sea rescues around England,Scotland and Wales. I found a copy in a second hand bookstore in 1993, if you can get a copy, it has a lot of what youre looking for. Its a good read. Author is John Chartres, Published by Ian Allan Ltd Surrey 1980. ISBN 0 7110 1062 5.
Good Luck
