Multi-Agency response to Whenuapai
9 January 2015
Emergency Services await the arrival of the aircraft outside RNZAF Base Whenuapai Fire Flight.

This morning shortly after 10am a "Local Standby" was put into effect at RNZAF Base Whenuapai, when a Boeing 757 was reporting a hydraulic problem. Members, with AUCKOSU3, responded and stood by with other members of NZFS as the aircraft circled, then landed safely about an hour later.

One of our members snapped the image above, showing Operational Support 3 to the right side of emergency vehicles from NZFS, St John and the Defence Force.
