Unfortunately we're not really allowed to be snapping photos in flight, which is a shame as we crossed over Donald Trumps new Golf Complex... a massive, really massive building site of blackened hillside, where plants have been burnt down to make way for the fairways; stacks of diggers re-sculpting the landscape, some very smooth green bits are already in place in amongst the site.

Fr flying across the sea (this flight was about 1 hour 30) we are kitted up with a lot of sea-survival equipment: immersion suit, inflatable life preserver, personal locator beacon, re-breather. It's quite an uncomfortable flight with all the gear on, but utterly essential if the worst was to happen, in 5°C waters....

The photo of the helicopter was taken just after leaving the terminal, through the fence.

The week offshore was good, met some great people, and got a lot of good work done.

Now got my fixed wing flight back to East Midlands.. on a Jetstream 41
