I have the following photographs to add.
The first four come from the CMM collection and show EIA dumping and also spraying at, I assume Rangiora - Perhaps testing the system out !


*****************************************
The lower three shots taken in 1983 in the Coromandel area show EIA in an awkward situation and being retrieved.

  1. Yes we were doing dump trials after fitting spray gear to EIA at Rangiora. Later on in its career, while spraying at Rakaia the left wing was bent after hitting a gum tree. It was repaired and we went back spraying. CMM
