About MeNordraug was originally a drilling rig and acted as a base for helicopter transfers in Brent in the 1970's. This image shows a British Airways Sikorsky S-61 on the helideck. The bridge at the rear was to allow transfer of people and material from Nordraug to the platform alongside. Here it is Brent Alpha that is just out of shot on the left.
