I think this was a Chevron Rig in the Gulf. Judging from the Auricon Camera and the Frezzolini battery pack I'd guess it was about 1970. These little blowouts were pretty common in those days. We didn't even rent a seaplane that day, so it was probably a ride on a Chevron crewboat. http://www.sonc.com/long_ago/pages/chevron.htm -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com http://sonc.stumbleupon.com/ Natchitoches, Louisiana USA
