jultaylor1972 2 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 What an absolute nightmare My friends daughter knows one of the lads and is really upset. He was a proper newcastle utd supporter, season ticket and all and today of all days too, he leaves behind a 16 year old daughter. My heart goes out to him and his family. RIP Louie.

riohog 5,904 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 tragic ! ive worked in the north sea myself some years ago and it can be a forbiding place rip lads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanB 0 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Thing is millet they have served the north sea for about 25-30 year and have been reliable as hell, we use a mk2 super puma, I think this was the same model involved ... Although the operators were Bond who normally only fly for the oil company BP, the one that went down last month was also a Bond chopper, but that was pilot error it seems, thankfully no one was hurt that time....For the amount of flights everyday throughout the years, its a good track record, but sadly these last couple of month theres been quite a bit of bad luck... Four have went down, two in the north sea, one in canada and another elsewhere... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beef 2 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 RIP gents. Flew out of Bond just after it had happened but in a 225. Didn't know about it til we got here. First thought was to phone home but luckily a good boss had already done that. Loads of flights and I would think it is probably safer than being in your car but did send the shivers up the spine yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Missie 1 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 My sister's boyfriends dad was one of the men on the flight. I never met him but my daughter is beside herself as she adored him. My thoughts go out to all families affected by this tragic accident. x x x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
