Request for pics of approach to helidecks

Hi everyone,
I am doing some presentations on accidents that had a CRM issue involved. A couple of them involved approaches and departures to/from helidecks on tankers and I'd like to illustrate the presentation with some pics.
Can any of the offshore operators out there provide me with some pics taken from the aircraft showing ship helidecks you are approaching to? (Or direct me to URLs where I may find them?)
For obvious legal reasons, they will need to be copyright free (or permission granted for me to use them) and you must be happy for me to use them in A/V presentations. I am more than happy to label them and credit the person/company that provides them.
I am especially interested in GOM or Australian images but will welcome input from anywhere.
Thanks in advance and happy flying.
Cheers
Conway

I think that the pilots are too busy to take them!

Were there any on the photo threads?

Good luck with the course.

Also, your copyright conditions might be putting people off.

It might be better to ask people to post any pictures they've got or have links to and then, if there are any you like, look into the copyright aspect of those you'd like to use.

I have a few showing S-61s and S-76s landing on Helidecks as well as some 212s and 412s.

PM me if you still need some.

I've done many landings on tankers, but never had time to take any pictures. That's not the time to be playing around, it requires concentration and the full attention of the crew. There are far too many pieces of steel sticking up on those things to allow any complacency or inattention.

Thanks to all who replied

Hello all,
Thanks for the replies, guys and gals.

I understand that sometimes it's hard to get appropriate shots and so those that were able to supply them, please accept my gratitude.

Safe flying.
