Aerial Operation Suspended For The Day
The latest general aerial operation to wipe out the painted apple moth commenced at 5.50am this morning (Tuesday 7 January) and was suspended just after 2.00pm this afternoon due to the weather.
Favourable weather conditions for most of the day, allowed at least 80% of the eradication zone to be completed today. Three aircraft were used in today’s operation – a Fokker Friendship, a small, fixed-wing aircraft and a helicopter that focused on “hotspot” areas.
Weather permitting, the aircraft will be back in the air tomorrow at first light to complete the operation.
