| (i) | All field clothing was found to be of a high standard. We also found that it is important that field personnel are issued with the older heavy jackets. |
| (ii) | In general, field equipment was of a high standard. Although we were issued with 2 box sledges it was not possible with them alone to transport our equipment to the experimental site. For this we required, and were issued with, a Tamworth and a box sledge. The Tamworth, due to its length, is essential for transporting our equipment between experimental sites in the vicinity of the wannigan. |
| (iii) | The members of the event felt that in general the Scott Base diet contained too much meat, although in all other respects the base and the field diet is good. |
| (iv) | We had two wannigans issued to us this year, NZ3 and NZ8. These proved to be essential for the success of this year's event. This is particularly true for NZ8. The experiment we undertook was technically demanding in that it required the operation

in the field of a dye laser, high speed optical detector, oscilloscope and a computer. Without access to the dry warm atmosphere of NZ8 this experiment would not have been the success it was. We are grateful for the use of NZ8. I would like to point out the importance of not only the extra room, but also the access to a warm and dry space that is incompatible with NZ3 where we sleep and cook. NZ3 tends to be too wet to operate electronic equipment in. |
