I saw a small article in the paper today that a helicopter had crashed on Saturday at Parkes, NSW while spraying locusts?

Anyone know any more on this?:ouch:

I don't think they were spraying locusts but they were certainly looking for them when they hit a wire. All, (4 I think), on board are ok.
The Helicopter came from the Armidale area of NSW. :ugh:

Deeper - Was it one of Fleet Helicopters machines, they are based in Armidale.

Now I'm hearing rumours of one going down in Mudgee, Is this the same helicopter and people are just getting confused between the location???

Yes it was Fleet and yes there were two helicopters involved in accidents this past weekend, one a Bell 206 and the other a Bell47.

All ok.
