Found the following webcam that updates every 6min, overlooking Trentham range.... Consider it international TV coverage for the event

http://www.wmac.org.nz/trenthamweather/This is the parent website that gets you to your link. Hit "New! WMAC Compact Page View" right near the top of the page. Otherwise go right down near the bottom for a reasonable view of the shorter ranges - favour the rhs unfortunately.
Interesting to watch the top view which is cycling thru at 1 minute intervals and see the flags change from full right to full left at the change of images.
All set up by the aero modelers who share the facility.
Have at safe trip you guys.

Now Sellsie, don't you go keeping the boys up late, they need to perform, especially Rip van Wyk (Winkle).
