Helicopter Movements:

19 hours in total were allocated to K043 this season, 13 of those to K043B. We were charged 1.5 hours for our put-in to the Miers Valley, but after this, hours charged were difficult to gauge as they were grouped in with K043A. Approximately 4 hours were charged for our move from Miers Valley to Robertson Ridge: this included aerial photography and close support in New Harbour. Our put-in to the upper Blue Glacier cost us approximately 5 hours and our eventual return to Scott Base another 4.5 including one hour's close support. Our total for the season would not have exceeded 14 hours.
