High wire flyers on powerlines
<p>A team of high-flyers have spent two days in Northland this week checking conductor joints on Transpower's high voltage transmission lines running from Henderson to Marsden Point. Up in the air with the blades whirling overhead, getting to work is a delicate aerial dance between the pilot, the wires, pylon and the "live liner". Michael Cunningham captured the action.</p>
