This Coulson Aircrane Bell 206B, C-GXOH, was supporting Coulson's Sikorsky S-61N, C-FMAY, which was logging cedar trees on the west coast of Vancouver Island at Toquart Bay, which is in Barley Sound, about 30 km northeast of Ucluelet, BC. The S-61N used a grapple to pick up logs and drop them in a clearing beside a logging road. The The S-61N and 206B were based in a logging camp just north of the Secret Beach campground on Toquart Bay and all the logging took place on the east side of the bay.
