(c/n 177)
David Carter’s photo of this sleek helicopter shows it at Mascot on
June 1, 1968, a few days
after it
was registered. It had been
sold to Helicopter Utilities at Mascot and was yet to
receive
the company’s yellow and white colours The chopper was sent to
Papua New Guinea,
under the
trading name Airfast, where it became P2-UHF in June 1974.
Converted to a 206
with
better performance, it was transferred to Airfast’s Indonesian division
in June 1979 where
it became
PK-OBH . This JetRanger was later lost in a accident.
