Comment from Les Kirkpatrick passed to Forestry Memories 'The helicopters used a field on Ringour Farm, where I grew up, to land and refuel. I remember being allowed to to have a seat in one. It would probably have been a wee bit later that this photo dated 1966 as I would only have been three years old but certainly in the late 60's.
