Unconfirmed news reports say last evening USAF a C-141 "Hercules" (sic)
made a safe landing at Christchurch (NZ) after earlier radioing in a
mechanical failure.

Hi,

I flew out of CHC today and wondered what the 2 x C141s and 2 x C130s were
doing there. Presumed they may have been part of some Antarctic work.
Anyone know what they are doing in the area?

MK.

Where have you been for all or part of the past 49 years?
The Antarctic programme has been at Harewood for this long.

The Herc's with skis are LC-130's.
