Return to Bristow Bases

..........Bristow Base: Beryl 'A', North Sea, UK.

A fairly short term contract based on
the Mobil offshore rig Beryl 'A' providing
inter-rig shuttling and SAR cover.
Operational January - June 1988.

A nice shot of the Beryl 'A', the accommodation
being below the helideck.
Work rota 2 weeks on - 2 weeks off.




Just the one machine involved - Bell 212
G-BIXV seen here on the pad with Graham
Conway



There was no hangar on the rig and the aircraft
was pushed to one side to make room for other
visiting aircraft. Minor maintenance could be
carried out on the rig but anything that involved
better facilities was carried out at Unst.
