Doesn't sound good. Fingers crossed for them. Would it be a single engined type or a BK twin I wonder?

For some reason I imagined (assumed?) a Squirrel of some kind but I'm not that familiar with Southern Lakes' fleet. This is one of those missions I completely forget about, real unsung hero stuff.

Yay! www.stuff.co.nz/national/112201208/search-under-way-for-missing-helicopter-en-route-to-auckland-islandsThree men feared dead after helicopter wreckage was found near the Auckland Islands have been found alive on a beach, ... Maritime New Zealand said in a statement that a rescue helicopter found the group walking around on a beach on the northeastern side of Auckland Island, wearing their cold water immersion suits. "The group is safe and well. The helicopter that found them is transporting them to Enderby Island where there is shelter before returning to mainland New Zealand," the statement said. |

Brilliant! Nice to have a happy ending as usually missing means a bad ending.
