Original Toronto Star caption: When Stephen Hemphill; pilot-engineer for Downtown Heliport Ltd.; returned to the ground yesterday he discovered his car had also been grounded - by a flat battery. Since there were no other motorists in the vicinity of the field on Unwin Ave.; Hemphill decided to get a boost from the helicopter's 12V battery and found the plan worked. In no time he was headed home in his auto.
