To add to the 206 drift:

VH-PHX most often heard on the radio as "PARTILLIKS"

I longlined it out of the harbour with a 205 on to a barge. Being a heavy machine and completely waterlogged we could only get it 2/3rds of the way out of the water on to the beach so we could remove the seats and a whole bunch of other crap then slung it on to the barge just before it got too dark to see!!

It flew again as PHX until retired and sold and became SVW only to have a proper job done on it in the Blue Mountains while fire-fighting. Something about low fuel and only one boost pump operating anyone?
