Yes, that is correct.  There was to be a helicopter on standby. I will still get to that point, as to the reasons why we needed a helicopter.  We needed the helicopter should there be any arrests or wounded people or whatever and then the helicopter could have given us the ability to deal with those incidents speedily.
	We adjourned with the request to Capt Bourne to go to the Alldays area on the 9th, where he was to find a suitable place along the road for us.  The reason why we sent him on ahead by himself, and the reason I didn't go along, was that we didn't want to draw too much attention to movements of strange vehicles and strange people in the area.  It would increase the risk for Matthews Sehlwana, as well as for the other members involved in observation points on the Botswana side of the border.  There is always the risk that the insurgents became aware of any strange movements.
