TOPIC: Helicopter wreckage on Langalibalele Pass

Helicopter wreckage on Langalibalele Pass 25 Mar 2009 16:01 #376

Apparently a group of hikers recently encountered the remains of a helicopter wreckage on the top of Langi's Pass. Am trying to find more information on this - anyone know anything more?

There are reportedly pieces of the fuselage, a door, rotor blades and even a battery lying about.

Thanks and credit to the group from Mountain Backpackers that came across the wreckage for the info and photo below:

More pictures, thanks to Bobby Stanton and party who have revisited the site recently. Apparently the pieces of wreckage have now been moved together.
