Brunei Shell Petroleum (Search and Rescue) Sikorsky S-92A Helicopter V8-SAR (ex V8-SHL) at Longreach Airport Saturday

Well, we jumped the gun a bit on this post, with the Brunei Shell Petroleum Sikorsky S-92A helicopter V8-SAR actually ferrying back to Brunei on Saturday 7 February.  It was spotted departing Brisbane early on Saturday for Toowoomba where it took on fuel and departed to Longreach.  As expected, V8-SAR departed Longreach for Mount Isa.

It was recently photographed (above) by the brilliant Brisbane Airport Movements Blog ( http://ybbn.blogspot.com.au/ ) performing airwork at Brisbane Airport after emerging from the nearby Sikorsky Helitek facility, where ti arrived in October 2013 as V8-SHL.

Search and Rescue conversion work has been completed on the Sikorsky, and it is now ferrying back to Brunei.
