VH-HBE was used by Sydney radio station FM104 for summer beach patrols. XXXX is a popular brand of beer. The helicopter was written off near Kilcoy, Queensland on June 24, 1989, when it crashed in a steep gully when trying to land on a ridge. Subsequently its registration was allocated to another Robinson R-22. This photo is copyright © David Carter, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
