Dollar Helicopter G-AZNI aerial fertilising
Image courtesy of Forest Research Newton, Elgin.
Dollar helicopter company working with a Lama? G-AZNI about to lift a bucket of fertiliser from its loading base. The Unimog type truck/vehicle has a hydraulic lifting arm which lifts the filled fertiliser bags over the empty bucket following which the bottom is cut and the material flows in. The picture is very shaky and difficult to make out the detail. Note the large air filters on the engine air intake.
The large picture shows the fertiliser, most likely unground rock phosphate, streaming from the rotary disc at the bottom of the bucket.
Can anyone identify the location from the background in the large picture?
