Having flown the North Sea for more years than I like to remember, I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to all at Bond Offshore and the families affected by this tragedy.

Personally, I don't know too many of you guys across the road but rest assured you are in my thoughts.

I will think of the sadness you are going through and hope that the support we other pilots can give may be helpful at this time

My condolences for all affected by this tragedy.

I hope our thoughts will help the families and friends of crew and passengers.

This is the tough part of our business..

Good trip wherever you go...

My mind
 

My and mine collegues minds are with every one who is involled at this terrible accident!!

May the POB's RIP!

As an Offshore worker I would just like to pass my condolences on to the families of the crew and passengers.

As an oil industry worker who flies helicopters for fun, I offer my condolences to all involved.

My sincerest condolonces to everyone involved in this tragic event.

Now that Sky news have posted the names of the victims which have been released this afternoon, I think it appropriate to name my friend who was the captain of the aircraft, he was Paul Burnham who some of you will know from Biggin Hill Helicopters both during my time there and after I'd gone.

Several of us have been at his mums place in Kent for most of the day, where some members of his family have been (and officially still are, more of that later) waiting for news on Paul. His mum is stood here with me at the moment.

I cannot think of any words at the moment that will make this any better, I am sure some of us will come and write some words about him here in the next few days.

My thoughts are also with the families and friends of the others affected by this in particular those of Richard Menzies who was named as the Co Pilot.

A very, very sad day indeed. I too would like to offer my condolences to all the families and loved ones involved.

I, too would wish to offer my thoughts and condolences to the families and friends of those we lost yesterday. All of my colleagues shared a feeling of disbelief as the events unfolded, not far from where our rig is standing.

I too would like to offer my condolences. Especially to the Family and Friends of Paul, who I worked with and knew at Biggin. An outstanding pilot and individual. A really, really sad day.

A very sad time for all involved. Diginagain, glad to hear you are well.

Like many other colleagues I'm still in shock and find it difficult to believe what has happened.

I only new PB for a short period but will always remember his friendly nature and how he would go out of his way to make the new guys feel welcome. It was fun flying with him.

He certainly has many close friends here and will be truly missed.

Thoughts of RM's family at this time also.

Sincerest condolences to all families and friends. Many of those on board were close colleagues of my brother.

Once again the North Sea oil family has lost sons. May they rest in peace and may those who are grieving be blessed with the healing that only time can bring. Their memory will carry on forever.

LIke Tuscan I spent quite a few years, maybe too many, flying as SLF out to N Sea rigs & platforms.
I knew several members of the drill crew who were killed yesterday. Sometimes the price is high.
We will mourn you all.

As well as the families and friends of those killed, my thoughts are also with those still out there waiting to return, or about to head out. Nerve wracking at a time like this.
Many passengers know little about aviation, and I know many retain hidden fears.

The flag that hung half-mast today
Seemed animate with being
As if it knew for whom it flew
And will no more be seeing.

With sorrow for the pain of the bereaved.

RIP Rich, you were a fantastic guy who we'll remember always. Still can't believe this has happened. My thoughts and condolences for the friends and family of everyone on board.

My thoughts are with the family and friends of those lost.

May you rest in peace.

Fly safe all,

TiP:(

My thoughts and condolences to all the friends and family of those lost. I knew RM briefly through ATPL theory, a lovely guy who loved helicopters and was completely dedicated to his goal of North Sea flying.
A very sad day.

My thoughts and prayers for all involved, on this yet another dark day in aviation.

Had high spirits after Feb 18th, now crushed and saddened after this week.

My thoughts are with you all.
