I also work on the NW Hutton as a derrickman.In one of the 'Amazing spaces' programs there was an ex. North Sea oil production platform enclosed lifeboat..
.. On the side it had the platform name.. NW Hutton..
This was the very platform I spent many years on in the 80s .. employed as an instrument technician.. I was also a lifeboat coxswain, and in all probability had practiced with that boat..
The platform has since been decommissioned and removed.. the accommodation module I believe is now being used as an on shore office block..
Don't know why, but it made me so sad to see it all chopped, hacked and converted to a house boat.. but I guess it lives on..
