Comments

REMARKS: The Casey area aerial photo program was completed early
yesterday afternoon and the weather then cleared sufficiently for two
sorties to be flown between Casey and the ship before dark on
Wednesday. Flights to the ship resumed at 0800 local and as of this
time we anticipate that the last sortie from Casey should arrive at
the ship around 1530 local. Weather conditions are currently very
favourable for flying and it looks as if we will be able to depart
for Hobart before darkness this evening if conditions hold. Will
provide an initial ETA Hobart on departure.
