’Copter mercy dash
Lynne Messenger, aged 19, is carried to a waiting stretcher by Capital Helicopter’s pilot, Mr Peter Button, at Wellington Hospital yesterday, after a mercy dash from a fishing boat in Cook Strait. She was rescued by helicopter and taken to Wellington Hospital yesterday because of her reaction to a bee sting. Miss Messenger was last
evening reported in a fair condition in the hospital’s intensive care unit. She was stung while aboard the fishing boat Northern Star just off Cape Jackson. Another boat took emergency medication to the Northern Star then ferried her ashore, where she was picked up by the helicopter.
