Powervamp is pleased to announce the delivery of its 2nd generation Scammer 300 GPU to Bond Offshore Helicopters, Humberside.
The Scammer 300 (Self Contained Air Mobile Modular Emission Restricted) was first developed in 1995 for the UK military in response to the need for a low cost self contained GPU able to produce both continuous DC power for pre-flight/avionics use and short-term high power for turbine starting.

‘The Scammer’s 3-cylinder diesel engine enables it to be used in remote locations where 400v 3-phase power isn’t readily available.’
Bond intend to use the Scammer daily to start both turbines on their AW139 as well as a further 4-6 starts on various other helicopters. The Scammer’s 3-cylinder diesel engine enables it to be used in remote locations where 400v 3-phase power isn’t readily available.
Founded in 1961, Bond first entered the UK offshore market in 1972. In recent years Bond has strategically managed its growth to focus on the key strengths of the business and provide safe, dependable and valuable services to a wide range of offshore and onshore clients. Bond Aviation now incorporates two operating companies, Bond Offshore Helicopters and Bond Air Services and have Powervamp GPUs in daily use in both companies.
