I remember sitting in one at Sumburgh in the Shetlands waiting to go out 
to the rig. When I glanced out of my window and saw a river of hydraulic 
fluid running down it.  Another time a friend was sitting by the door of 
a Sirkowski when the door opened and fell off. He was very unlucky, he 
once ditched in the sea. Fortunately the pilot managed to land on a 
sandbar and they could wade to the shore. Then his chopper was hit by 
lightning and when they landed the rotors had started to fray and 
splinter. One incident that I saw with my own eyes was when his paraffin 


the side of the platform. Amazingly the pilot caught it and managed to 
bring it back up and land it.

all of my stories.
So Shay you were very lucky to be telling your story. Did you get your 
feet wet?
