Toll backs an AW139 into a Tree
Heard on the grapevine that Toll was conducting winch training near Lucas Heights and accidentally backed into a tree.
AW wouldn't let them ferry out, so they needed to call in a bulldozer to clear a path to the grounded bird to allow it to be trucked out.
Anyone got pictures?

Good call I say. Why risk flying a damaged aircraft?
A good friend of mine over torqued a Lynx at Merryfield. It came back to Yeovilton on a low-loader. The banter was high but no one was hurt.
