Great to see his picture. Remember when he joined as a labourer and used to ask if he could help out with Check A's. The world turned and there was his voice on the BBC, over the Braer in Quendale Bay. Good man. Hope he's well. Might have been EU we ferried to Miri, or AI ?

Here is a face from the past. Garry Williams was based in Sumburgh for many years & was senior winch op when I was there. I bumped into him in the Thistle Hotel (Formerly the Skean Dhu) a few years back. He was a little greyer otherwise hadn't changed at all.

The picture of Dave Winter, Alan Bristow and Gordon Mitchell was from a company brochure... I think they were relying on some "artistic licence" when they quoted "meeting Puma aircrew" as Gordon was S61 only.
Maybe that's why Dave is looking so angry !
Gordon was a Chief Pilot at Sumburgh, and subsequently moved onto Unst when Sumburgh Oil Support finished, eventually returning when SAR started.
