What of Promise of Helicopter and Funds Raised for it?
back in the late 90's and right upto 2002 Harry Mitchell and Brad Kenyon were involved in various Raffles (eg Harley Davidson Raffle etc) where they were raising substancial sums of money with a promise to provide the Illawarra with a permenant Rescue Helicopter. In fact in early 2002 I attended a meeting with these two men who were offerred at that time a fully operation rescue helicopter for a minimum of 12 months with a view to them setting up a community based method of funding it. However they declined the offer insisting that they were on track to purchasing their own helicopter by October that year !
I never saw a helicopter service.... so what happened to the money raised ??
