Hello Michael, I think it was around 1976 shortly after she had the larger derrick fitted, I had 2 spells on her, the first off Sunderland then this one flying out from Penzance to join her, I have a photo of me in my cabin under the helideck and there is a calendar on the bulkhead, I will dig it out to confirm the year.
Kind regards, Steve.
