It’s been a busy few weeks chairing the OGUK Pandemic Steering Groups’ Helicopter Sub Group. Refreshing working with some positive thinking senior personnel from all 4 UKCS helicopter operators and the CAA to jointly resolve some Covid-19 related aviation issues to successful conclusions, the Movement of Passengers Flowchart and the introduction of the Virustatic Shield (snood) being but a couple. Not often you’ll get an aligned approach from all the operators but these difficult times have produced great results. Great to be pleasantly surprised after 44 years in the industry.

Delighted to deliver the Safety Moment to the 30th Anniversary Elected Safety Representatives Conference at P&J Live yesterday about the concerns of helicopter operators on the shipment of PED’s on charge/powered up in passenger baggage. Follow up article reported in today’s P&J Energy Voice assisting in getting the message out there.

North Sea helicopter operators are classing portable electronic devices (PEDs) as a “clear and present danger” to their aircraft and passengers, an aviation expert said.

Willbur Aviation is delighted to strengthen its partnership with East End Juniors with Graham Wildgoose joining the recently formed East End Commercial Team.

The cost of running a junior football club continually increase and East End is no exception. The formation of the Commercial Team allows Lee and his Management Team to concentrate on the playing side with others given responsibility to raising the finance to move the club further.

There are a few innovative things in the pipeline to raise finance which hopefully Willbur Aviation followers will be able to assist with and these will be published in the near future. Watch this space.

All assistance will be very much appreciated.

Willbur Aviation is delighted to be associated with East End and it’s endeavours to create East End Lewis Youth. This gives a tremendous route for youngsters in the City to progress through the ranks. Well done to all those who set this up.

Club statement:

After several lengthy discussions East End Football Club are delighted to announce we are now in partnership with Lewis United Youth.

This confirming we now have 15 youth teams all running under a management committee made up of Dougie Yeats, Lee Youngson, Richard Burnett and Alistair Reid.

All teams will be called East End Lewis Youth by the start of the 2018-19 season with the home club colours of black and gold becoming affective by or before June 2019 for all teams.

The aim of this set-up is to provide a safe playing environment while striving to develop players at youth level to the highest standard possible.

The agreement plan in place now gives 150 kids a clear pathway from grassroots to junior football which was always the long term plan for this club, we're delighted we have managed to secure this in just under three seasons.

The long term view for our youth set up is to have our own complex for the youth teams while securing training facilities for all teams to utilise.

Junior manager Lee Youngson has been heavily involved in pushing the partnership through alongside Lewis United Youth chairman Richard Burnett, Richard was pleased an agreement had been reached between the two clubs commenting as below:

"We are delighted to announce this partnership with East End Football Club which will provide a clear pathway into the adult game for all current and future players"

"This partnership allows us to continue to grow the club and move forward with plans to have teams competing at all age groups of the ADJFA leagues and also in the near future to introduce a girls section"

"This is a fantastic opportunity for the club and we look forward to a positive and rewarding future operating as East End Lewis Youth"
