MH90 landing light started the fire currently threatening Southern Canberra suburbs.
The helicopter sustained some damage.
The report says the ADF had been preparing possible landing sites for future firefighting use. The ADF had been doing this for at least the last 4 days, presumably operating out of Fairbairn.
Saw several flying on the weekend which I had (wrongly) attributed to Australia Day activities.
Every day’s a school day ...
