Looking for Sandy Thom

Does anyone have contact details for a relation of mine, Sandy Thom?
Last time I spoke to him was a couple of years back and at the time he was still up in Dyce with CHC flying Pumas. Spoke with Scotia but couldn't get an answer.
If anyone is still in touch with him, can you pm me and I'll pass you my mobile etc so you can give it to him.
Thought of posting this on the "where are they now" forum but Sandy is a rotorhead and so am I. Thought it might be more productive in here

Many thanks

Well I'd never had believed it!

I used to work with Sandy on the North Sea, and I have just read that Sandi Thom is his daughter!

Unbelieveable, how fantastic. He must be very proud!!!

Thanks for the info CF

Yep, the very same Sandy and "wee" Sandy.
Think that's half the reason why Scotia wouldn't give me any info over the phone......they must have thought I was a journalist or something.
I'll maybe wait till the fame thing dies down a bit and then go back through the Scotia route again.
If anyone does come across "Big" Sandy, then let him know his nephew is looking for him, he'll know who you mean, I lost his number when my phone and laptop were stolen.
Thanks guys
Regards

He was in the paper last week. His daughter missed her flight to T in the Park, so they managed to commandeer a CHC chopper so her dad couldl fly her down.

Cool or what?

Did Sandy do a stint instructing in the US in the late 1980's perhaps? If so, I was a student of his...

Hi Brett,

yes he did instruct in the states, possibly on the west coast but guessing a little.
