Helicopter use in the Ninian Field to transport personell around the three platforms. |

Bristow was contracted to transport people from the beach to the field in Sikorsky S61 |

We chose to minimize flying time over water by flying fixed wing aircraft to Unst in the Shetlands and then a helicopter to the Ninian. A lot of the companies would fly from Dyce Airport in Aberdeen to the offshore locations. Our marine operations were out of the Port of Aberdeen to Ninian a 20 hour trip. |
