We were tasked for plenty of underslung cargo work: the mirror will be a familiar sight to many
We were the first visitors to DDU (Dumont D'Urville) for 10 months. As well as all turning out to unload the cargo we brought, they raised the flags for us, too!
The most intense colours were deep inside the icebergs
This is DDU, with the runway and hangar in the foreground. CASA 212's run into the strip from next month
More of the glacier next to DDU
Because of forecast strong winds, we took the blades off and craned one machine into shelter on the cargo hatch
What a first day of Antarctic flying!
