GFS expert team goes to Sichuan

2008-05-17 HKT 14:30

A five-member expert team from the Government Flying Service has been sent to Sichuan to help rescue and relief work there. It's the first time the GFS has dispatched officers to do such work outside Hong Kong. The team, inluding two pilots, two aircrewmen and an aircraft engineer, left this morning after the mainland sought help from the territory. The Chief Operations Officer at the GFS, West Wu, said they were unlikely to take to the skies as their main role would be to provide technical support.
