Notes
Interestingly, as amphibian aircraft activity increased in coastal Fiordland, the CAA recognised there was a high risk of planes becoming stranded in the Fiords when the weather unexpectedly changed. Consequently, the CAA established emergency supplies of food & blankets at strategic locations, largely utilising existing huts (Ken Bradley, pers. comm. 5/03/07). Edit Hut
