G-BCLD Mount Pleasant c1989
|
Redhill c1981
|
G-ANFH was a Series 1 55 purchased by Bristow in 1969 from BEA helicopters for a contract at Blackpool. After servicing and repaint at Redhill Bill Pollard flew it to Blackpool with me along as the temporary engineer.The rig could be seen from the airfield and rumour has it that to carry 7 slf it could only have a fuel load of 40 gallons of avgas.
Last seen by me stored at Yarmouth, probably at Weston-super-Mare now. |

Pontius ; not sure of location yet, but the Alouette III was registered July 1970 and was lost into the sea May 1971, so at least narrows the date. Great pic..thanks !

That scafolding doesn't look very CAP 437 compliant.......;)

SASless, funny you should mention that. Here's part of a recent communication to me from a former driver.:ok:
cast your mind back to the 70s on the North Sea, ricocheting around like a wasp in a bottle, at 200 feet in fog, looking for a rig, |
Ah yes dear boy.....back when men was men!
Day one for another American....how we going to find the rig says he. No problem says I....we'll do a radar let down to the biggest return on the radar and that will be the Etta then we scoot off under this stuff for our platform. As we make visual contact with the water....we pull alongside a really huge tanker going somewhere besides the Etta. "Now What?" says he. Nay problem Jimmy says I....we'll just head for the next biggest return and figure out where the heck we are!:uhoh: Do you know anyone who ever did the Decca Runway 27 approach to Sumbrugh single pilot at night?:mad::mad: |
