Bristow to Nigeria ?

Post by keithnewsome » Wed Mar 20, 2013 9:33 pm

Something a little different, I saw this Bristow S76 on a low loader yesterday about to leave Norwich bound for Nigeria, Bristow have done a good job with the packaging and covered all identifying features !! So we don't know which helicopter it is ?????
It has been suggested it should be either G-BIEJ (CofA expired 20.02.13) or G-BISZ (CofA expired 06.11.11) Unless you know different ??

I have been reliably informed that this is G-CGRU .... about to be airfreighted to Nigeria for contract work !!

That's well caught Keith.

It's funny, or maybe me being cynical but anything with a Nigeria address doesn't fill me with confidence..... :Wow:

Thanks Marcus ! We do get a few Nigerian registered rotary's moving through Norwich over the years but usually on their way back to the UK.

This convoy approached me from head on, as they went past I saw helo on low loader, thought spin round, follow, overtake and get photo of it passing ! after a quick U turn and rapid drive around the corner the convoy had stopped at the local café ! so phew .... photo opportunity :cool:
