[TheList] You all coming to to Timaru this weekend?????

Sun Nov 10 16:43:14 AEDT 2013

This afternoon there was a P3 Orion at Invercargill airport which was a
part of it apparently. While I was there I saw some crew getting gear from
the Fire/Rescue guys, yellow crates and orange pelican cases labelled
"Vertical". May be radio gear, and maybe live ammo in the crate?

Cheers
