Flying a Twotter in Antarctica. Not bad money and civil service pay, pensions and conditions to boot!
What a superb opportunity for someone. :ok:

Will they really find someone with those hours willing to do the job? Ok, if I had the hours I'd jump at it, so I guess I just answered my own question.
<heads off to dig out friends number who works for the BAS, figure they might have need of a safety pilot :E>

I have become friends with somebody who has done this job and he assures me it is bloody hard work. Ever tried refuelling a twotter in the really really really freezing cold by yourself using 50 gallon drums of fuel?
