VH-CSW Bell
47G-3B-2
(c/n 6765)
VH-CSW was yet
another one of the large fleet of choppers operated by Airfast
Helicopter
Utilities
Pty Ltd in the 1970s. This one came on the register in July 1970
and Greg Banfield's
shot above was taken at
Mascot in August 1974. Many of these old rotary-winged
birds are
still current, and this one is no exception, although it was
re-registered VH-IDU in 2005. It is
now based at Rolleston in Central
Queensland.
