167_FIDASE_part_1

PBYs, Sikorsky 51s, and Antarctica. The episode I'd fabricate from whole cloth if the events didn't actually happen. Peter Mott leads the British effort to map the Antarctic Peninsula before any pesky Patagonians steal the cartographic glory constituting the last low hanging Antarctic fruit. The Falkland Islands Dependency Aerial Survey Expedition drew together broad talents and drew the ire of less glamorously tasked FIDS. Recorded on location in Gippsland and atop Bass Strait. A visit from a kitty cat and a song by Ellis Piper to round out my happiness with episode 167.
