Immediate report of Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1989-90: VUWAE 34

Field Transport

Field Transport

Detailed comments on transportation are contained in Appendix 1 relating to operation and effectiveness of skidoos and air operations. However, at this point we must emphasise that surely something can be done to increase the efficiency and flexibility of Hercules air operations. In MBL the weather experienced by our group was marginal to flying for most of the time. Windows of good weather lasted for relatively short periods, generally 12 hours at most.
