Was an AS332L2, the feeling is some sort of catastrophic mechanical failure.

Dreadful tragedy, half the men lost came from Aberdeen or surrounds.

Heli movements down the years are “ten-a-penny” here, not a day goes by when you don’t hear or see them.

But tragedies like this brings it home that it’s dangerous work & that won’t change.

Worse that it was only 6wks ago that we all breathed a huge sigh of relief, only for the fatal Newfoundland crash, now this one yesterday.

But the heli is the best mode of transport, all you can do is make it the safest you can – but machines can & do fail, & sometimes catastrophically.

Bond did not fly today, & BP are using other operators – but I think flights will resume in the days ahead. BP have not withdrawn the contract permanently.

So smoking REALLY CAN damage your health! :rolleyes:

Who picks up the tab? 😀

Ryanair….the DFS of the airline world.
Deals that aren’t what they seem. Allegedly. 😀

Does look as if bmi R has a future, given that it’s taking over the ABZ-BHX route (from Baby) + ABZ-LHR (from Mainline).

Thought I read bmi R was due more Embraers from withdrawn Flybe stock, or are the reduction of routes elsewhere ensuring the existing fleet is sufficient?

Probably turned up in their 15yr old camper vans did they? Belching fumes along the way…spouting more polluting hot air with their crap. :rolleyes:

Perhaps time could have been saved had they just escorted Mr Pincus off.

Sheesh! :rolleyes:

So where do they fly to then? :rolleyes: And does anyone see them land at their destination? 😀
