Bristow Photos
Does anyone know if the "RESCUE" marking on the JetRanger was genuine - if so, what sort of operation was that??
Or maybe it was just a comment on the reliability of the cars.........

G-BAUN was based at Inverness in those days doing ad-hoc, the rescue sign was probably added for the advert. Is that Paul Gliddon standing in the centre of the three guys on the right?
It does look like Paul....but then that begs the question...rotors turning and Paul outside for a photo shoot?????
The Sumburgh picture was probably taken in either 1976 or 1977 as the second hangar still hadn't been built, or started, yet. The second phase of the terminal is complete, so that might more accurately suggest 1977?
I am the guy unloading the bags in that picture.
How are things Nessboy?

Dear old Jack Brannon !! Every time I came home on leave, Jack was on the phone within a few days pleading for help with some pilot shortage! Met up with a few old Bristow faces at a BAH reunion at the Air Museum at Flixton, Suffolk in August 2006, including John Odlin, Marcel Avon, Bob Balls, Dave Winter, John Hall and John Waddington. All looked pretty fit.

Middle Wallop 1967!!
People have been asking after Gerry Sedgwick and I thought there might be interest in this pic of the BHL instructors at Middle Wallop in '67 where Gerry is back row second from left. The other 'steelies' you will have to work out but what a good looking bunch!!!
Mike Norris, 3rd from right Back row?

K12479, yes, Tiger = Super Puma.
There's a preponderance of suede shoes, chukka boots and fair-isle amongst that group of Wallop instructors. I know most of the faces, but names elude me. Nothing new there then.
Is that Arthur Sharples, front row third from left?

Gerry Sedgwick
I flew with Gerry many times from Unst the last being shortly before he retired at the beginning of 1995. Incredibly apart from the addition of a pair of glasses he looked exactly the same as in the picture above.
