I used to do frost at Tumut and there were some nights you would start before midnight and others where you did not fire it up until 4am.
Used a Longranger / Jetranger combo, others used B47/KH4 and even R22 combo’s.
What you had to do was walk the fields the day before, find your safe areas, wires and other hidden traps.
We always had a lit safe area (too far from the airport) should we lose vis ref due excessively smokey pots or as in some cases the fog rolled in too thick.
Generally a good bunch of people you work for but there aint much to do in Tumut at night.
