Bell 206 VH-GEO

G'day all,
I'm looking for photos of this helicopter for a modelling project I have in mind. If anyone can help, please post or pm me.
Cheers!

If you mean the 206B that was destroyed in a fatal crash in June 1995, good luck with your search, I think you'll need it.

But you never know these days thanks to the internet.

I was probably one of the last people to see the aircraft as I lifted the wreckage out of the river with a 350B.

The accident report here (http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=220).

Possibly the worst accident I have seen involving a 206.

Tracing back through available data there is a picture when it was ZK-HYI.
From fading memory I would say it is pretty close to when it was VH-GEO.

Google - "17 May 1988 - 3rd Level New Zealand - Blogger" and scroll down to ZK-HYI.
