06.01.2022 Todays #MondayMemory is from Point Samson. Bill Miller of Point Samson was an enterprising man. He briefly used a Bristow Helicopter to transport banana prawns from the boat to the truck, which sped up production from barge to factory. The operation was very successful but when Bristow shifted from Point Samson it was not viable to have a standby helicopter on site.
