The cache is housed in its own hangar, just a few metres off the taxiway that begins at the terminal, at the coordinates:
S37° ps.r(s+t)z E144° nn.b(v-u)(y+h).
Just substitute the appropriate numbers for the letters. You may need to be stealthy when recovering and replacing the cache to avoid observation. You are looking for a 400ml Sistema with appropriate camo.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never Lark, or even Eagle flew -
And while with silent lifting mind, I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
- John Gillespie Magee, Jr, 1922-1944
