Was given 2 hours notice to prepare for a mission to check the Gas installation at a field hut on Hop Island and change the fire extinguisher's .
Taking off in the chopper from Davis.
On the way to Hop Island about 20 minute flight with the weather looking a bit ordinary.
Straight ahead Hop Island.
Heading to the field hut armed with some new Fire extinguisher's
The field hut called a Smarty for obvious reasons. As you can see it has started to lightly snow.
Inside the hut going about my work.
The snow stated to get heavy with little viability so we had to stay for a couple of hours for it to clear.
Frank the Helicopter Pilot next to his machine covered in snow.
Frank is clearing the snow from the chopper while Barbra and Nobble the temporary residence of Hop Island studying Penguins are getting a lift back to station to prepare for a other trip a bit further south. May sounds a bit glamorous but if you smelt the Penguins in mass you may chance your mind, They have been attaching little camera's to some of the Penguins to record there movement's.
Flying past the edge of those clouds full of snow
Coming in for landing after a hard day at work.
