The West Australian that television pictures of the rescue were relayed from HMAS Adelaide at sea to the mainland via a "chartered twin-engined aircraft".
Sorry
Fris, I assumed from the first post (quote) that the TV was relayed in real time, not,
the television pictures were relayed two days later on 11 Jan as HMAS Adelaide and HMAS Westralia were steaming back to Fremantle
Would a sliding door be possibly an aircraft set up for skydiving, can't think of any other possible type?
