Was that used for lifting DOC specified logs?

Sean Wilson
Denis King doc it would off been timberlands

Denis King
Sean Wilson yes apologies, Timberlands.
The machine was a load of junk, crashed just south of Hokitika, it should never been allowed to fly.

Sean Wilson
Denis King but more came from taupo blue and white

Sean Wilson
Denis King helicopters wasn’t only one timberlands used

Kevin O'Regan
One also crashed in Morobe province Papua New Guinea also on logging crashed on landing with fatalities. Company called "low Impact Logging" sadly a misnomer.

Phil Wright
Kevin O'ReganThat was in the 90s,a MiL 8 crashed in PNG,and killed a bloke from Malbourgh I used to log with?

John Tainui
Lee Christie remember this heap of junk when we use to work with it, remember the day it crashed like it was yesterday, should never have been allowed to fly, so lucky no locals were on board as only days before they were taking families for joyrides to the logging sites along with us, had bullet holes from the El Salvador wars in it, it was a heap of junk compared to the other one Timberlands got in

Del Godfrey
That takes me back, the beast and what a job it did!

Murray Grant
I remember that thing, it developed a vibration that they couldn’t find but they used it anyway and disaster struck sadly!.

John Sara
I remember having a look inside it and little holes in some places where the rivets should have been

Dave Morris
Watched MI. Lifting trees in blacks point. Loaded too much. See logs raining down into river. Holes in that one weren't rivets missing. She had been to Afghanistan
