The Hiller Helicopter of Management Aviation, Cambridge piloted by Peter Schofield takes off with a loaded fertiliser bucket from a site in Aultmore Forest. The loading team at the time were specially trained forest workers and travelled with the helicopter team from forest to forest. Here they face the camera in all their protection gear – hard hat, waterproof jacket and trousers, goggles, face mask and sometimes gloves.
