      Hi Luke, thanks for filling me in on the type of boat it is. The only images I have access to are from the series. I read somewhere that the N.S.W. Police Force purchased the boat when the series finished production. I will try and find a better picture of the boat.

      Regards

      Brett

      I once had Information the Boat belonged to someone living in a Nursing home. The Helicopter VH-AHI was deregistered in Australia during the early 1980's and was eventually re-registered with ROTORWORK (Company name has since been changed)for Mount Hagen duties in New Guinea. All this happened many years ago and the current whereabout of VH-AHI is unknown.
