The driving force hey! A rather arrogant statement!
I was under the impression there were several professional bodies that strived to improve aviation safety!
It must be remembered that Shell Aircraft International are the world leaders in aviation safety and the driving force behind all major safety successess of the last 20 years.

Name dropping
Gentlemen
Shell Management, BP Management, ExxonMobile Management, Statoil Management, Super Duper Management....would real life management staff be posting here using such nick names?
Entertainment value of the so called Shell Management is undeniable, but please get a grip on how our customers operate when it comes to public affairs.

Poor ol' box'ead SM. I got to feeling sorry about him. Thought I'd relay for him that even Aussies can show great tact when it is required. Here is a story that floated across my desk while I was out.
Three Aussie blokes working up on an outback mobile phone tower:
Mongrel, Coot and Bluey.
As they start their descent, Coot slips, falls off the tower and is killed
instantly.
As the ambulance takes the body away,
Bluey says, 'Well, bugger me, someone's gotta go and tell Coot's wife.
Mongrel says, 'OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it.'
Two hours later, he comes back carrying a carton of Beer.
Bluey says, 'Where'd you get the grog, Mongrel?'
'Coot's wife gave it to me,' Mongrel replies.
'That's unbelievable, you told the Missus her husband was dead and she gave
you a carton of beer?'
'Well, not exactly', Mongrel says.
'When she answered the door, I said to her, 'You must be Coot's widow.'
She said, 'You must be mistaken. I'm not a widow.'
Then I said, 'I'll betcha a carton of beer you are.'
Aussies are good at that sensitive stuff

Press and Journal - Article - Bond cleared of blame for helicopter ditching
Helicopter manufacturer Eurocopter has cleared operator Bond of any blame for a ditching incident in the North Sea last month.
The aviation giant – which built the Super Puma which had to make an emergency landing on the sea off Aberdeen last month – said Bond was not responsible for the accident.
Two crew and 12 passengers had to be rescued in what was the third serious incident involving a Bond Super Puma in three years.
Eurocopter said the skill of the Bond pilots and the design of the aircraft saved their lives.

So EC is taking sole blame for the failed shaft then!
This will make their (EC) Insurance company feel all warm and fuzzy!

Dancopter have a system where engines and transmission systems are monitored electronically for changes in vibrations and analyzed before every flight take off.
Probably something borrowed from the Shell EC-155 and Dornier fleet in Nigeria.....as that was the previous center of excellence there.

Start of the new Shell Scotland contract?
Beside all "technical" problems already discussed here, does anybody of you know about the start date of the fresh or extended Shell contract were Bond was droped in the bidding phase? Seems like Bristow and CHC in Aberdeen are busy with preparations... and also looking out for additional engineers and pilots with Shell qualifications...

Its on their website - Dancopter are clearly an innovative company
As I've said elsewhere, Shell only fly aircraft and operators that are Shell Aircraft approved
As Shell are not using Bond, CHC can't be third choice. Do the maths
Off course next time we may have NHV, Bancopter or HeliHolland in Aberdeen bidding.
