Last week Bristow flew the aircraft further north than normal, to Florø Norway to meet with Avinor. Article They posted a great video about it too:

And this week, Daniel Simmons posted on LinkedIn that the testing has completed. As he says, looking forward to what’s next!

↗️ BETA: up over last week in all metrics (but zero VTOL)

↘️ they’re down quite a bit over last week, though we’re investigating some rumours…
