Fison's Airwork, BEAS, B.Cal. etc
This picture from Speacless two via http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=287883 got me thinking why not include the companies aquired by BHL? They are certainly a large part of what made Bristows what it is. So any Fison's Airwork, BEAS, B.Cal. etc photos & anecdotes pleas add them here too!

Jemy,
There have indeed been many variations on the good old yard of ale. I well remember a course of pilots from a Middle Eastern country doing their command training on the 212 who tried a yard of Guinness - very messy
Pastis and tonic was my preference. It's a shame the Training School was closed down as so many good young men and women who passed through it have since done very well both in Bristow and other companies.

Prakla Seismos near Manjil Dam, Iran 1978:

Prakla Seismos, Soltaniyeh, Iran 1978. The aircraft were fitted with groundwave and skywave detectors and the long boom extending forward of the nose was the MAD detector.

Great pictures
Hiya, i live just outside norwich airport and work on the airport at a flying club, and i see bristows all the time, and it is very interesting to see the picture of that bell 206 jetranger, the oldest jetranger in the uk is owned by bristow helicopters and is based at Norwich, and do you know a pilot called Dave higgins?
