Return to Bristow Bases

..........Bristow Base: Argentina.

After pulling out from the Falklands in 1998 the S61Ns
headed for Argentina for a joint venture with local operator
Helicopteros Marinos in support of an offshore drilling
programme for Mobil. It was short lived though lasting
approximately four weeks after which the two aircraft
went their separate ways to Brazil and the Congo.
