There was a PPRuNer on here a minute ago trying to post an image of a Kiwi FH1100 but the post has now gone!

This is to say that I've had a go at trying to clean-up your image (below).


New Zealand FH1100 ZK-HCI at Mount Cook in November 1984. The notes state that this craft was the oldest turbine helicopter on the Kiwi register and that she was the first helicopter recorded as landing on Mt. Cook at an altitude of 12,394ft in 1971.

And there I was thinking that landing a JetRanger with 3 POB on Mt. Albert Edward (11,852ft) in Papua New Guinea was a pain but in an FH1100 ... .

Thanks for the responses.

The name Michael Orr certainly rings a bell and I look forward to any additional responses which may come in from those with memories of this company.
