Description

This photo was taken during a cooperation with the Swedish Customs Authority (Tullverket) in northern Sweden back in 1990. Unfortunately the helicopter crashed later the same year (October 23), killing four. The accident occured while taking off from a mast inspection site at Vallenäsberget, near Tärnaby, with a few technicians. The machine hit the supporting lines of the mast and crashed. The pilot and three technicians lost their lives, one survived with serious injuries.
