Maui,Discoverer II ,SEDCO 135F
 

Anyone got rig pictures of the HNZ B205 and the Alouette II on the Shell
Maui Taranaki field way back when?

BERMP...!
What...? nobody in here alive in the 60s?
Few funny stories there , helo deck baggage handler going for a ride on the floats of an Alouette....a missed approach UNDER the heli deck...http://www.augk18.dsl.pipex.com/Smileys/laughpound.gif

tinpis,

No AL3, but a shot of the AS350 on floats: good for autos :cool:

Only B205 when I was there (Plymouth) was the Hevilift one on cross hire, with a gazillion dispensations to allow offshore pax flying on one engine with the lightweight floats. Hollow skid tubes :p

John E ta for the photos
You know I cant remember the 205s floats but I lean towards thinking it had em
Pilots I think were ex 'nam (pretty fresh!)
The AL3 drivers some were poms.
Hot refueling in a cow paddock just out of NP was fun.:hmm:
