Cheers m8.. This is what I do now though, glorified taxi driving. When I'm back in Search and Rescue I'll take you usual suspects flying and do this to you.

The early morning shift (0645 take off) fly to the big accommodation platform like the Viking loggs (above) and then take the guys and girls to work (commonly known as bears, oilies or SLF..Self loading freight.) on NUI's (Normally or Nodal unmanned installations) bottom pic.
Then the evening crew pick them all up from the NUI's and take them back. This 'Shuttling' can range from 4 landings (2hrs) to 20 landings (7hrs) but is usually around 10 landings (3 1/2 -4hrs) on average and it's pretty hectic sometimes with up to 5 or 6 Helicopters in field and can be quite shitey weatherwise. This is a NUI, and most of our flying in winter is in the dark, visual referances can be a problem and very rarely they do go in the drink. (2 in the last year. UK)
Just in case you were interested..
