Remarks: This incident happened in a regular crew change flight. The floating gears were incidently deployed due to miss-operated procedure by the pilot. All 12 passengers were save and transferred to the other helicopter. The aircraft then successfully reached its base (around 100 Nm far) with pilots and engineers onboard.
Remarks: All three of the medevac helicopters YTZ, very rare to catch them all out at once. FABH has been in the hangar for maintenance for the past few months, and the other two (GIMZ and GIMT) have just returned together.
Remarks: Another S-76A at Langley. Photographed in the early morning light. I am not sure if this has been hiding in the hangar or has arrived in the last few days?
Remarks: Owned and operated by Bristow since 10-1980. parked during the Open Day at the Airport and waiting for the evening shuttle. Heli is operating for Shell at the Dutch sector of the Northsea
