John - Dont count on it. A little birdy told me that Heli Harvest wont have their Mil-8s back there this year, instead the contract has gone to Coulson with an S-61 and 2 x 212s.
Dont take this as fact but thats what I have been told.
And also heard that HTS have taken over from the bright orange machines in Vic but politics may try and overturn that.
To those that said that money issues have stopped Wildcat sending their 212s down, you are wrong on that front, all four helos are on the water bound for OZ according to info received last week.
Cheers
Ned
