Are we getting 2 S61's nice... yeah I wondered why they had 2 large tanks there this morning.

The tanks have been there all year. One S-61 is going to Busselton on or around the first of Jan next year. The season for the Helitacs has started about three weeks early this year. HA has been busy as, trying to get all the machines in the air and bombing in such a short time frame.

That's why the 2 big boxes have been outside for ages.

682 will go to Busso on the 1st Jan I think the circular said.

c-ftig I think it is. 682 has been doing test on the hose and tank, the maintenance boys are getting ready to install the tank on 681.

Official Launch this Sunday at Scenic Park Wanneroo. Starts 1030 , 1100 h. Type 1 will be there

This may have been answered but I dont have time to read through all the pages on this discusion.
Does the S61 have 4000Litre tank or 10,000Litre tank
Was discusing it with another volunteer a few days ago and thought different things.

Thanks
