Eurocopter SA318C Alouette II Astazou, Haida Helicopter - Guillam, MB - 11-1970 - Comments of the Jim Broadbent : "Location is Gillam, Manitoba working for Barrenger Surveys. Towing a ÒbirdÓ but not sure what we were looking for. Pilot is unknown. November 1970. Cold enough to freeze the hydraulic system. There was moisture in the hydraulic fluid. Had to remove the complete system and bring all the parts into the hotel room to thaw out and remove the contaminated fluid. Miserable job because of the cold weather. Lots of work looking after the Alouette II in the winter. Greasing, oiling, lubricating, oil leaks etc. The landing gear hydraulic struts would freeze in the winter which would cause the helicopter to get into ground resonance. "
