Ahh Mount Caroline. I remember it well. I think that I only landed facing in the direction shown in your photo Jemy. As I recall the prevailing wind generally dictated landing with the nose hanging over the escarpment. Not easy (for me anyway) with a howling gail blowing up the hill.
I am somewhat overwhelmed by the response to my origional post. Thanks everyone. Please do keep them comming! |
Jemy,
There was a time when the only landings on the Brent Spar at night were done by the 212s as its unusual motion and strange crane positioning could catch out pilots who didn't land there on a very regular basis, and even with the 212's there was a tail strike on the crane by Clanger L, a very experienced 212 pilot and TRE. We even used to shut down on there and I found the motion made me feel quite sick in a fairly short time. Does anyone know what dear old Henry Boyt is doing now? His dog and mine (and occasionally Henry and I) used to share an office many years back when he was running the British Gas pipeline survey operation. Mike Ginn was also based there then. I've been doing more clearing to prepare a nursery and have found some more old photos. I'll try and scan them if I have time over the wekend. |

G-BBHM
Some great photos of HM. It had a very colourful career for a 61 (North Sea, Falklands, Maldives on lease, Kosovo, & SAR). Real shame about it's sad demise!

Fond memories of operating from both the Treasure Finder and Safe Gothia.
Following up on this excellent post, when did Malcolm Soper cross over the bar? |
Malcom Soper
Sadly Malcolm Soper died from a stroke a few years ago, not long after he retired from BHL. He was my chief pilot in Aberdeen for much of my time there. A true gentleman of the kind you just don't get these days. As well as flying the line with him on many ocassions he once took me up for some aerobatics in his beloved chipmunk which he kept at Perth.

House 17

That pic of house 17 is obviously before you redecorated it much the displeasure of Kermit. Oh happy days |
Tail Take Off
You are right, Malcom Soper was a true gent. His reading of the S61N checklist item "tail wheel lock" with the emphasis on the "h" in wheel will always be remembered fondly. Speechless Two I believe it was Russ Smith who lost the top of his cockpit in the late 70s. He used to tell the tails of that exploit when we used to fly from Unst in the early 80s. Another gent to fly with. Memories! |
It was indeed Russ Smith who cut the top of S-61 G-AZNE.
Not a great quality pic but this was the result. |
Yes, the good old Shoreham Airport, Lancing College and BATB. That aircraft was in Singapore 9V-BMN early 80s for a few years before it went back to Evergreen.

Bellboy or anyone else who might know.
How many 212s do Bristows still operate? Which are they and where? |
Bristow 212s
As Far as I am aware there are three 212s still in Civy registration G-BFER and G-BALZ in Mauritania with G-BIXV in Kazakhstan.
|
Thanks bellboy. What about the overseas registered ones? Have they all been disposed of?
Here is an unusual one of G-BFER taken in Svalbard in 2004 apparently http://breogfjellsport.no/files/pict...ipp5-2_800.jpg |
