I think that you will find that most of the arrangements are out of HARS controll and from what I've seen they have just received the final info themselves.

YWOL is owned by a local council and they and the local emergency services are way out of their comfort zone on this one. This is not Sydney, this is a regional area and the biggest aircraft that they normally deal with are Hercs and the Connie.Just to get the approval to bring the aircraft in to the airport has been a major effort.On top of that they had in a short time to beg and borow all the ground equipment just to get the aircraft to its resting place. Their ex Ansett tug used on the Connie is not quite up to the task and neither is the local part timers (retained) fire truck.

HARS has done as good a job as they could given their situation and they should be commended for it.

And no, I'm no longer am member so not biased at all
