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

Field transport

Field transport

This event was largely self sufficient except for helicopter support. Without a doubt this was the best season (out of four) I have had with respect to helo operations. None of the "usual" delays and frustrations were experienced and instead we had instances of helos arriving "early". When the Kiwi helo was flying during the early part of the season things were extremely efficient and I believe the high morale of field parties in part reflected this reliable service.
