The day we visited Neist Point, this Northern Lighthouse Board helicopter was observed picking up a pallet of building materials from the supply ship (seen behind moored in Moonen Bay) using hooks and slings, and then expertly hovering above the Neist Point lighthouse boundary and lowering the load into position. The load was unhitched by staff on site and the helicpoter then rested up nearby, awaiting the OK to collect further loads.
