About MeThis image of Murchison was captured from the deck of a vessel close by. On the left a BA Sikorsky S-61 helicopter is just leaving the helideck. The sheer scale of the platform and its 100m + deck can be seen comaparing the helicopter to the platform structure.
Murchison was an all steel platform and was recently decommissioned. It was literally taken apart piece by piece in reverse to how it was placed in position in the Northern North Sea in the 1970's.
