A Few Photos from the Capricorn Helicopter Rescue Service (CHRS) Community Open Day at Their New Hangar at Rockhampton Airport

As we've been mentioning on our Facebook page, on Sunday 4 March, the Capricorn Helicopter Rescue Service (CHRS) threw the doors open at their new hangar and facilities at Rockhampton Airport hosting a Community Open Day at the CHRS Hangar at Rockhampton Airport on Canoona Road.

Local plane spotter Trevor H has sent through some photos of the day which gave the public a fabulous opportunity to not only meet the wonderful staff but take a closer look at the locally-based CHRS (Babcock Mission Critical Services Australasia) Bell 412EP helicopters VH-VAU and VH-EPR, as well as supporting vehicles and facilities.

Other displays included one of the locally-based Aviation Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF) service tenders and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) and Rural Fire Service of Queensland vehicles.  The Queensland State Emergency Service (SES) also had a stall.

Finally, for the kids, there was also free face painting, cupcake decorating, helicopter balloon art, craft activities, amusement rides and a BBQ!

Sincere thanks to Trevor for taking the time capture and send through these great photos!
