I believe it was (is?) Bill Petrie, not Petry, but what is the connection between him and magnetos, 47's and Tehran (presumably the 47's and 205's at Galle Morghe). Tell us more.....

Hi all,
I have just been informed by Paul's daughter, Josephine, that Paul died on Friday, 28th.
Due to circumstances, there will have to be a post-mortem, so Josephine could not give me any more details of the funeral arrangements.
I will post any further details here when I have them.

Hi All,
Update on my post last week-
Sadly, the post-mortem on Paul was 'inconclusive', so no date for the funeral has been set. As soon as I have any further information I will post it here.

Just to clarify, and sorry for any inconvenience, which Paul Cook are we talking about? An engineer or a pilot?

Attila,
Paul was both an engineer and then a pilot. He was an aircraft tech in the RAF before joining Bristow in Beccles, I believe. After gaining his CPL(H) he became a S61 co-pilot before converting to the S76.
I will be writing an obituary for Paul, so if anyone can shed light on his early years at Bristow, please feel free to pm me with any details or recollection.
Hope this helps.

Indeed he is the guy that I knew and I worked with him although I never flew with him. I was in Bristows, before being made redundant in 1999, and then going across to BIH the following year at Penzance, followed by going down to the sunny South Atlantic, so that must have been where I met him. Did he ever work for British International, or am I confusing him with someone else, or has my memory become somewhat befuddled over the years?
Rest in Peace, Paul, and my sincere condolences to your family.
Yes a great laugh in the ops room at Norwich.
He loved a shallow approach to a rig almost as much as he loved jags.
R.I.P big fella and thanks for your great Balpa work.

Hi all,
Paul suffered a fatal heart attack on his 61st birthday.
The funeral will be held at Horsham St Faith Crematorium, just north of Norwich airport, at 15:30 on June 5th and afterwards at the Whitehorse Hotel on North Horsham Rd.
I'm not sure what the arrangements will be regarding flowers or otherwise, but I will endeavour to find out and post on here.

I worked with Paul in Kerteh, Malaysia, many years ago. Very sorry to hear this news. A good guy, gone way too young.
