 Orion!
Pics - M Kaill

G-ATBY Westland Wessex 60 operated by Bristow Helicopters is seen here at the Grandes Rocques headland in February 1978. The machine was used to ferry equipment to the oil rig 'Orion' that was washed ashore during a winter storm. I've added a few images of the rig for context.
