    My father apparently drove one of the big cranes at the Graythorp yard that built the Forties Alpha jacket. It would be a dream to visit the rig one day and see what all those guys achieved in the 70's

    I was in the Forties Field many times initially as a contract employee and later as BP/Apache. Hope Apache continues to do what they do best and keep the fantastic teams of personnel in the positions they deserve.. Good Luck Lads!

    I was in the Forties Operation from Nov 1992 to Dec 2013. Great Experience though the good times, the bad times and everything in between! It served me well, arriving as 4th year apprentice and leaving as an OIM. Was sad to leave, but it was the right time to move on for a different view of the North Sea (up in the Beryl field). Hope Apache can continue to bring success (and longevity) to the field!

    I worked on Forties Alpha from 79 to 97. Got a wee bit emotional watching this. Some of the best but also the most difficult days of my life are forever linked to beautiful old 21/10 FA. The fantastic guys I worked with too……far too many to mention, but I will mention a few. Sparks like George Barras, Chris Byrne, Stevie Appleby, Mechs like Keith (Shagger Davidson, Nigel Mudd, and Ian Topp. Ops guys Davey Denslow, Ally Ellis, Jock Pitcaithly, Frankie Logan, Ken Hart. Brilliant bosses like Michael Whitten, Les Thomson and the wonderful Jimmy Soutar. Amazing times, amazing people. So many amazing people.

      My father worked on Forties Alpha when they first brought oil up and got presented with a little trophy, People did not know but wives of some of the staff / operators where lifted on the platform to look around. My father has the pictures still , his name was Terry Taylor , worked as a operator , coming from B.P Saltend , Hull . He used to fly to Aberdeen by chopper , then board a train , I used to pick him up fro York as it was interchange and I drove home to Hull , having an extra night in bed . Only took me 45mins from York to Hull.

      Wasn't there a ship called the IOLR a Firefighting ship stationed out in the North Sea , my father spoke of her sometimes. In the early years of survival training , they used to take people , throw them into the water and make them climb rigging nets .
