This thread has certainly brought back fond memories of my stint with Bristow from the mid 70s to early 80s. Here are some of my photos:

Iran and Brent
Wow, some great photos posted here today. SAS, been digging around in my drawers (no, the other ones, not my soggy boxers :E) and found a few. I'll scan some more another day:
I've got some more, flying ones from Prakla somewhere, which I'll look out. 1978, Prakla Iran: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...laIran1978.jpg Also in Iran, Kharg Island, just before an ill-fated flight to remove a flare boom tip, which resulted in the tip hanging on to the top of the tower by just one bolt! http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...Island1978.jpg Treasure Finder 1983: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...Finder1983.jpg Brent 1983: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...Brent21983.jpg A Brent sunset: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3.../Brent1983.jpg This was the state-of-the art cockpit for the LN450 SAR 212s which Bristow developed in cooperation with Louis Newmark and was the precursor for the LN400 system in the SAR 61s. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ockpit1983.jpg We did a lot of SAR training and responded to quite a lot of SAR callouts considering it was a secondary task. Helicopters were on 15 minutes call to HMCG 24 hours a day: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...dFlare1983.jpg |
Redhill FTS
Bristow used to do servicing and modifications to Yugoslav police Bell 212s. I had a few comments from Gatwick controllers when doing ILSs into Gatwick with a YU callsign and a British accent:
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...212Redhill.jpg We also did some main gearbox overhauls for Okanagan Helicopters. I delivered this one to Liverpool docks for shipment back to Canada: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...erpool1988.jpg This was the S76 being prepared for the film "The Fourth Protocol': http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...otocol1987.jpg Engine-offs were fun in the snow (well. okay, they were always fun :E): http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...dhillJan87.jpg It's always a bad idea to let 2 flying instructors go off for a session of engine-offs together :}: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...r/BNBT1988.jpg Anybody remember the "Chief Barking Instructor' (staff number K9) who used to get taken for 'walkies' by 'Spanners' on many a lunchtime?: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...torRedhill.jpg Here's the original Bell 412 demonstrator which came over for the 1988 Farnborough airshow, then went up to North Denes on a trial for Amoco. I flew with the Bell pilots to familiarise them with the helilanes: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ell4121988.jpg |

You will no doubt have seen this at www.skyweaver.co.uk but here it is again http://209.196.171.35/helimage/beas212_big.jpg Ref your earlier question Simon Hornsby was last heard of at Lee-On-Solent and featured in some of the TV series "Seaside Rescue". However as the Lee contract is ending he will no doubt be back in Aberdeen or Den Helder soon if not continuing at Lee with CHC. |

To all,
This is a great thread with so many folks adding pic's. Certainly brings back the memories of times long ago. Reminds me of an old expression my Grandmother used to use, "Ve get too soon old und too late schmart"! Congratulations to SoggyBoxers on his new little "aviator"! Owl |

..... there must be a way of posting the actual photo on the site as above, but I suspect that this is frowned upon. I edited your first post to tell you how to do it, but you've deleted the post. If all else fails, follow the instructions. ;) Posting pictures hosted on Photobucket couldn't be easier.

Could it be the rearward facing pitot tubes? I know they were slow but we usually made some forward progress.

How about the TIG Reg on an S-61. ;)

Interesting shot of PK-HBV. Where was that taken? Certainly not Sumatra, its usual home. The aircraft was ex Brunei Air Wing. Note the very innovative position of the HF Antenna, under the tail boom, instead of flapping around sticking out of the front. I know the guy who did that very very well, and it worked a treat even stuck into jungle mud. The spacer was a hand carved teak wedge ordered with ‘approved’ drawings from a furniture shop in Jalan Kayu. :ok:

Anecdotes
Please keep posting the photos. The addition of a few anecdotes has, however, made this thread all the more interesting. More Please:ok:
Can anyone recall the story of the North Denes aircraft that diverted form a ground run? |
hico-p, Your post 64; the two guys with backs to the camera - I'd say, left, Pete Frean, right, Jock Swainson.
