More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The history of Bristow Helicopters - which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2003. This is the definitive history of the company which grew from inauspicious beginnings to become one of the largest independent helicopter fleets in the UK serving the oil rigs of the North Sea as well as charters. The firm of Bristow was founded in 1952 and has grown to be the largest civilian helicopter fleet in Europe with over 120 aircraft. The firm provides support for the offshore industry as well as search and rescue services around the British coast. The company operates in many parts of the world and is truly a global business.
From the Author
When I left the Navy in 1982, I thought that Bristow operated only over the North Sea -- and I had done my time flying like that. If I had had any idea of just how diverse this company was, and still is, and where I might have gone after serving a North Sea 'apprenticeship', I would have joined like a shot. The first half of my book reads, I think, more like an adventure story than a corporate history, and the second half gives an idea of just how much Bristow has contributed to the lexicon of helicopter flying over the past half-century.
