Good try Boys or Girls.

But get your facts correct.

The load was two drums, looked like 200 litre drums of something?

If that was drill water, then around a total of 400 kgs plus the drums and cables.

More likely Jet A1, therefore, 320 kgs plus the gear, either way within a Jetrangers capacity.

The Base Camps airstrip was less than 15 km from the site, therefore the fuel load should be on the light side.

I think that heavier lift job around the river is done with the 350, or the twin.

Loved that Top End, spent many hours in a green suit through the area, great! The tropics certainly beats Sydney town.

Who was the pilot? anyone know.
