A few days after I arrived into Australia I got straight back on a plane to fly from Adelaide to Albury, we then drove a few hours to the most remote location I have ever been. We arrived at Columbo Creek, we were surrounded by two massive 100,000 acres farms.
I was there to coach skiing to 18 Children. The weather was perfect for the 1st week, I flew my helicopter as you can see on the video, this was the last time I saw my helicopter. Week two was windy, but the kids wanted to see it fly, I took it a few meters of the ground when it all went wrong.. My helicopter had a mind of its own.. I’m sure it wanted to fly back to the UK. Anyway it took off and shot of in the 40kph winds. From then on I recruited most of the kids to come help me search, I tracked my search using my iPhone, and over 2 days I had walked 40km over 12hrs. We even took all the ski school kids on a ‘ghost walk’ that night, (or maybe it was a helicopter hunt) anyway they all had fun. Unfortunately we didn’t find it. I lost my DJI Phantom and Gopro Hero 3 ☹ sad times.
This video is in memory of my baby…
