PM: Was also glad to see that Elipix was able to dig up some info for you.

As it happens Felixkirk and Thirsk Aviation made a brief appearance on page 27 where one of their 206's (G-FSCL) was showcased during our hunt for Newforest's green and gold 206.

Some Hiller 'scraps' from one of my rarely-opened archive folders .. just until I can get you something better. Only one item from the UK I'm sorry to say.


Kiwi 'copter man' Bill Black recovering a plank (ZK-CGI) from Lake Duncan in Fiordland. Evidently the aircraft (CGI) was stolen from Taieri airstrip and then ditched!

Exemplifying the term 'one good turn deserves another' the crew of the Motor Stores Lighter HMAS Boronia recover a Hiller from the seas not far from Sydney!


The HMAS Boronia was one of nine 180 tonne wooden stores vessels built for the RAN in 1944-45 with the remainder being built for the Army's water transport units.


Hiller over Leeds (Kent that is!).
