[Copinsay]

Hi all

Just for your interest

BBC News - Coastguard helicopter pilot suspended over Orkney butcher trip

...that's Orkney for you.

Best wishes

Steve

Using your initiative that, although something a little more inconspicuous may have been better.
Bristows have the contract next year I believe...

[BruceB]

Theres a campaign to "save the orkney butcher pilot" going

[willk]

I bet the poor bu@@er gets Roasted! His buddies will be giving him a fair old Ribbing. He must feel a bit of a Chump now. Poor sod may never get Topside again though

[telcowilliam]

what is his beef? poor sausage, I hope someone saves his bacon and he doesnt get the chop, I'll get me coat....................................

Ah there's one thing you could steak your house on, once you guys get started on the offal puns the thread just becomes mince.

Ach, now yer being a Jerky. It's only a bit of fun for the good Burghers of RIBnet. Just so long as it doesn't degenerate into one of those awful Ribeye threads

There's a lot of local support for the Pilot including our local MP and MSPs:

Northern Isles MSPs back suspended helicopter pilot | The Orcadian Online

On the up side, some good national publicity about Orkney beef... (barring the jokes on here )

Cheers

I was once nearly blown out of a toilet tent by Solent CG chopper dropping off a birthday cake to his son who I was camping with on the IOW ...( in the big old chopper ) . A whole story on its own !

I know they have also exercised by lifting crates of beer off ships in the channel......

All fine in my book .

All fine in my book too.
Got to keep up the skills. He is still the guy who will come out to pick you up when most other pilots would stay tucked up in bed.
