Thanks to civil unrest in Hagen on 12 July in relation to the elections, MAF management made the decision to relocate our aircraft to other bases. Two aircraft were flown down to Balimo the following day so that the flying programmes planned for the Western Province could continue. After the dust settled, I was picked up on 16 July and have been here for the last couple of weeks. It's been useful to experience the longer short-term weather patterns that you don't really get to appreciate if you're only staying for one night. But hard work too, as the accommodation we've been allocated is still very much a construction site.
