Have heard and seen The Coastwatch Reims in the air lately. I thought Coastwatch had gone all Dash 8.
What's the story? Who's flying it? Supposedly Surveillance pilots.
saw them overseas for training of our neighbours a bit.. maybe doing some more or retraining themselves for the same task...

Maybe too many boats and not enough Dash 8's.....These things were in storage I thought?

"Maybe too many boats and not enough Dash 8's"
thats pretty much it, Big Kev in his castle in Canberra decided to give them an additional 1000hrs per frame per yr to do the barrier reef and Torres so it could free up a Dash in the North-North West
