The Hiller Helicopter of Management Aviation, Cambridge piloted by Peter Schofield unloads fertiliser buckets from the company transport land rover at a site in Aultmore Forest. The pilot is guided by a marshal standing in front as well as using large mirrors fitted to the front of the skids. Note the canvas cover weighted down by fence posts and strainers to keep it from flying up into the helicopter rotors.
