I have to admit that whole pumping cloud thing with the halo was awesome to see. The helicopter is one of Trevor Breed's (Helitreck) out of Bankstown. Trevor's BK's are always beautifully operated and here it was on a refuelling break from throwing big (960 litres)buckets of water on the fire.
The fire was in a Reserve somewhere between Parks and Orange NSW
I had the pleasure of working for Trevor for 6 years in a number of positions but primarily as his Chief Crewman.

P.S. Actually - when I think of it, the BK was painted up in Redcliffe in the hangar near Bob's.
