They only show that rescuing people isn't as easy as some think, even when you have had some training, so doing it with none is inviting disaster

Factual Query
You have the correct owner but the company trading name is well out of date, he’s probably holds the record for the most written off airframes in Australian GA charter in the last 10 years. Hence there’s a few different trading names, borrowed AOCs, “private ops” companies he’s used.
As for the R44 dipping its skids in the water, all that was achieving was blocking the dinghy from picking up the swimmers. ATSB are CASA are aware.

I searched high and low using both the owner's name and company data relating to his former entities (ASIC director search).
Funny thing is I couldn't find reference to more than two accidents, the recent 206 ditching and the earlier loss of a Squirrel.
So, my query is to ask you what were the other hull losses and if you could possibly supply the rego details?
In relation to the recent 206 ditching you claim to have access to video of a R44 doing some inappropriate things.
If that is true then posting it holds no risk for you, but it does seem odd that there is no CASA/NTSB investigation current.
or did you just imagine all these alleged additional facts in an attempt to damage someone's reputation?

Should not be hard to find the 2 x R44s that where written off within 10kms of Cairns Airport, bit harder to find will be the Long Ranger in PNG.
Then if you find those, and you’re still keen to find more I will give you more clues.
Yep, I know I could have made it easier , but you sound like the type of bloke that if you don’t know something then it’s not true…..
Happy searching.

Anyone recall an accident below the summit of Mt Kegam many years ago, a Bell 206 with to many drums in the net, ran out off puff short of the pad?
It was an Australian registered helicopter, apparently not associated with a PNG AOC holder.

CASA PNG (Milroy) gave him a bit of a talking to…
I was surprised the ASN wikibase doesn't list more VH- registered Bell losses in PNG aside from a few Bell 47's. P2- prefix was used from 1974 onwards.
Lots of weird stuff has happened in PNG over the years, both in fixed and rotary wing. Not sure why the reports aren’t available online, probably to early before internet and social media ramped up. Lots of accidents that I’m aware of that aren’t available online.
I doubt anything weird or unusual would go undetected these days in PNG, particularly with ADS-B, social media and internet in most places now.
This accident may not even be related to anything mentioned in this thread. I heard about it from a Mt Hagen based pilot
