CHC Helicopter returned to Aberdeen by Boat

BBC News - CHC helicopter returned to Aberdeen by sea over fuel samples

Quote:

An offshore helicopter has been brought back to land by sea after concerns were raised about fuel samples.

The Super Puma, operated by CHC, had been refuelled on board a North Sea platform.

Fuel samples were "unsatisfactory" and the decision was made to bring the aircraft back by the offshore vessel Island Express as a "precaution".

CHC said the helicopter would be subjected to rigorous engineering checks before returning to service.

Ah. The old Diesel/Unleaded mistake. I've done that once myself.

Ha ha ha ha. Correct. Haven't we all ;)

Aberdeen Harbour cranes are shifting more choppers than fish these days ;)

Sign of the times - high on CHCs list of priorities was to cover up the registration letters. But in the photo, the heli has all its wheels off the ground so surely it must be flying and therefore should display its registration?;)
