Bristow Starts To Take Over UK SAR Helicopter Role From RAF
Bristow Helicopters (part of the U.S.-based Bristow Group) had won the contract to provide a search and rescue helicopter service for the whole of the UK.
Three new Sikorsky S-92s arrived at Sumburgh on May 11 this year in preparation for Bristow taking over the UK Coastguard SAR contract at the base from June 1, and from Stornoway on July 1. These aircraft will ultimately form part of the company’s longer-term nationwide commitment.
