CALVIA City Council will demand from Mallorca Council that the objects found in the Puig de sa Morisca excavations be re turned to the munici pality. The Puig de sa Morisca enclave is the largest park in the mu nicipality with an area of 45 hectares that ac commodates an abun dant archaeological landscape where the main site dates to the Iron Age, approxi mately 900 to 123 BC. “We are about to open, we hope in a few months, as soon as possible. Both the museum and the Puig de Sa Morisca area are largely unknown to Calvia residents. We are working on an agreement with the council of Mallorca to bring to the munici pality the archaeologi cal objects that will be available to residents and tourists,” said the mayor, Juan Antonio Amengual Around 260 pieces have been selected for the permanent exhibi tion.

PRIVATE HELICOPTERS: Landed on a private estate without permission.
Jo Pugh THE Guardia Civil has report ed a total of four private heli copter pilots for landing their aircraft in an unauthorised manner on a private estate in Mallorca. The Guardia Civil reported that the Pegaso team (the police specialists in aeronau tical management and oper ational safety of aircraft) has reported to the State Aero nautical Safety Agency (AE SA), four helicopter pilots for not respecting the rules set by the Agency regarding the landing of this type of air craft. The events took place on August 10, when four pri
vate helicopters, flying the Swiss flag, landed on a pri vate property in the munici pality of Ses Salines, in Mal lorca. The officers of the Pegaso team observed that the pi lots had breached the regu lations regarding operational safety, given the existence of cables and nearby houses, and had not communicated
to the competent authority the fact of being in an affect ed aeronautical area, as less than eight kilometres away was the Ses Salines aero drome, an authorised land ing area for this type of air craft with a corresponding flight plan. The company that owns the helicopters faces penal ties that can reach €225,000.
