On the 07:30 report on Thursday night , they had a brief story about the need for more fire fighting aircraft in Australia.
Whether we should buy or continue to lease from overseas etc.
One of the interesting points to come out of it ( I thought ) was that there is a growing problem with availability because the fire seasons in each hemisphere are now starting to become longer and therefore overlap. Apparently this wasn't the case previously but as fire seasons are now getting much longer everywhere, you have to wonder why ?
