Happened to be looking at my unit's association photos and came across these. This would have been 1987 a year or two before I joined the unit. Am pretty sure this is RAAF base at Laverton - ? RAAF Williams ? - just west of Melbourne and a 10kms due north of RAAF Point Cook (where the RAAF Museum is).
The WO Amphibious who taught me Water Ops was on the original trials for getting Zodiacs out of the Herc and onto th water in one piece, although from his stories it didn't always happen that way
- they had at least one double spear in.
This is one of the few photos I can find of the metal pallets used which were damn heavy.
Still trying to find a photo of the boats inside the aircraft.
I'll look up what Squadron it was, got to find my old folder !
