THE PLANE ARRIVED

NOV21

21st Nov 2009


It was decided to send plane today, arrival at +/- 1430. Set off smoke flares at each corner of drop zone as plane arrived. Seemed not to line up with drop zone, and starting dropping the fuel drums across and outside the drop zone. Drop was from a 450 m height and was spectacular though many of the drums were landing uncomfortably close to the tent!. Plane made several runs about 6/7 in total and dropped about 220 drums 8 at a time. Plane then made low sweep at about 50 m, which was very special. Plane went up to 2000 m then the parachute specialist made his parachute jump and landed close to the camp. He was the expert to check condition of drums and parachutes. He told us that he is the first to survive a parachute jump in Antarctica, which we had know this at first!


Had a 100% success rate, much better than last time, where several of the parachutes failed.
Started then to sort out drums and arrange them in piles, it was cold work as it was about -37C.
Used crane on trucks to lift up drums and move them around. Job went well and we managed to do 2/3rds by the evening. Decided to do rest next day.
