I happened to be at the airport on Monday and took this photo of the helicopter at 12:33 (exif data)

The ATSB has sought permission to use my photo (or another one taken in August, found through Google images) in their report of the accident.

Did they see it here or it came up with an image search?

Image search - found it on my other gallery - airport-data.com. Here is a link to the photo they originally asked for:

If you go to Google Images and search VH-XTY, it's the first image displayed. They didn't know until I replied to their email that I had taken another photo less than 3 hours before the accident.
