Dragonfly - Vanuatu Disaster Relief 2015

Thanks to Hayden for sharing the link to this very interesting YouTube video showing the relief support provided by super motor yacht "Dragonfly" after Tropical Cyclone Pam pummeled the islands of Vanuatu.

There is extensive use of quad-copter drone technology and note the helicopters in the clip which includes the two Garden City Helicopters machines plus one I hadn't thought about, Eurocopter AS350B2 ZK-HNL operated by Helicopter Support Ltd, Solomon Islands. This helicopter ferried from Kerikeri to Norfolk Island on 31 October 2014 and a change of ownership recorded on 24 November 2014.
