There was very little room between the rotor blade and the ship's infrastructure when the Lynx was landing onboard. Real precision flying. You'd not want rough sea with that little margin.
What was the Beaver doing? Was it on fire bombing duty on LHI?

Very old clip re the Beaver I think went Oz to NZ, so long ago so I can't remember pretty sure that Beaver was 1990s?

Confirmed my memory is not fading as fast as I thought, just did a bit more digging, she became ZK-BVR, was only in NZ for a short time, see below...... ZK-BVR Delivery: 1994-04-18 Cancel: 1997-06-05 N888KM Valid Delivery: 1998-02-18 C-GUMG Delivery: 1999-02-09 Cancel: 1999-05-20 See link below with a Peter Lewis photo of her as ZK-BVR. www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/001156745.html
