The versatility of a helicopter was demonstrated recently when Whirl Wide Aviation's machine assisted builders engaged on the construction of the Freezing Works' new beef-killing floor by lifting 250 sheets of fibrolite for the roof. Taking ten sheets at a time, the helicopter, with Mr Frank Mettner at the controls, took about half-an-hour to complete its task.
The Freezing Works' big smoke stack, which was lowered several years ago, is now being totally dismantled and removed.
