Hello all,
Thanks on the photos - most were discarded - was difficult to hold a steady shot.

I'm not qualified to comment on most of the rest, but I was at the fence by the terminal within a few minutes of the overrun, and listening on the YQM ground frequency. Rain was pretty heavy, gusty, low cloud...

For the emergency services on airport, per the CFS, avail 0945-0345Z only.

As for the choice of runway, not really qualified to comment, but it does bear mentioning that 06 has an ILS and 11 has NDB and RNAV approaches only. Also, only 10 deg xwind difference between the two at the time (var 20 deg W).


Cheers,
Colin
