(Amendment No. 3)

Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 3) is being filed with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons in Bristow Group Inc. (the Issuer). This Amendment No. 3 supplements the Schedule 13D as previously filed on November 12, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 previously filed on February 18, 2016, and Amendment No. 2 previously filed on February 22, 2017 (as amended, the Schedule 13D). Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the same meaning herein as are ascribed to such terms in Schedule 13D. Except as set forth herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Persons in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

As previously disclosed, Caledonia has been a shareholder in Bristow Group Inc. (Bristow or the Issuer) for over 20 years. As Caledonia has previously stated, it may, from time to time, increase, reduce or dispose of its investment in Bristow depending on general economic conditions, economic conditions in the markets in which the Issuer operates, the market price of the Common Stock of the Issuer, the availability of funds, borrowing costs, the strategic value of the investment to Caledonia and other considerations.

As previously disclosed in Amendment No 2, on February 20, 2017, Caledonia and Morgan Stanley (MS) entered into a 10b5-1 Preset Diversification Program (PDP) (the Plan) pursuant to which MS will sell, for the account of Caledonia, up to 1,835,000 shares of the Issuers Common Stock. Sales under the Plan could commence as early as March 6, 2017 and will terminate no later than August 10, 2018 (the Plan Period) on the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE). A copy of the Plan was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Amendment No. 2, and is incorporated herein by reference in response to this Item 4. Sales under the Plan as detailed below in Item 5(c) have necessitated the filing of this Amendment No. 3 pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the Exchange Act, as the number of shares sold under the Plan are equal to one percent or more of the Common Stock of the Issuer that are issued and outstanding.

Depending on market conditions, Caledonia may consider further purchases or sales of shares. Consistent with its investment purpose, Caledonia reserves the right to develop such plans or proposals consistent with applicable law and at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of any or all of its Common Stock depending upon an ongoing evaluation of its investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements, and/or other investment considerations.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer

(a) As of the date this Statement is executed, Caledonia is the direct beneficial owner of 1,448,767 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. This holding represents approximately 4.10% of the total of 35,365,418 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer currently outstanding according to the Issuers Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2017 as filed with the SEC on November 8, 2017. To the extent that, by virtue of the relationships described in Item 2, Cayzer may be deemed to share indirect beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned directly by Caledonia, Cayzer expressly disclaims all such beneficial ownership. Furthermore, the filing of this Statement should not be construed as an admission that any control relationship between Caledonia and Cayzer actually exists.

(b) Caledonia has the sole power to vote or direct the vote, and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposal of the 1,448,767 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

(c) Please see Schedule A below for the transactions pursuant to the Plan in the Common Stock of the Issuer by Caledonia within the last 60 days. There have been no other transactions in the Common Stock of the Issuer by Caledonia except those pursuant to the Plan as disclosed in Schedule A.

(d) Caledonia has the right to receive and the power to direct receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds of the sale of, the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer that it holds.

(e) On November 9, 2017 as a result of the sales under the Plan reported below in Schedule A, Caledonia ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Common Stock of the Issuer.
