Sleeping guy in "Helo" (helicopter), HMAS Kanimbla
Description
Figure of a man asleep in a helicopter. Peter Churcher recalled, "Some of my favourite images were those that I caught out of the corner of my eye, in this case as I was packing up after completing 'Sitting in the helicopter'. I caught this fellow grabbing an afternoon nap inside a helicopter so quickly unpacked and set about getting him down on another small board that I always kept at the ready for such moments".
