most crew duty/fatigue issues centred on tasking/flight hours/intensity rather than accommodation
The RAAF seem to have accommodation as the over riding requirement, as the following tale may show.
Above photo - Date 25th March 1972 just off the coast of Beecroft range. Forget now whether it was the SAS or Commandoes, but following messing about on canoe deployments from submarines they wanted use of some helos. The Army had first approached the RAAF for helicopter lift for the exercise because that was the RAAF raison d'être. The Army was rebuffed with the excuse that the Huey had not been cleared for ship board use. I was involved with ARDU test pilot Bob Treize of the RAAF and clearance for use of the Kiowa on board ships so can well believe that all the boxes had not been ticked to formally clear the Huey. In any event, the Army approached the Navy as they knew of the Wessex and suggested they might use that. They were told it would involve an immense task of stripping and then refitting the anti sub gear so why not use our Hueys. They then told the story re the RAAF Huey tale and we told them rubbish. The RAAF on learning the the Navy was going to do the task with Hueys suddenly found that RAAF Hueys could somehow magically operate from ships as well, but now found the Navy had encroached on their raison d'être, interservice rivalry and all that .
The Army wanted to do the insertion at first light, and that's when the fun started. We proposed that we all embark on the 24th and spend the time briefing, getting to know one another, and if the arm were twisted, perhaps even down an ale. Can’t do said the RAAF, accommodation on board Sydney sub standard, crew unable to get adequate rest in unfamiliar surroundings and noise, probably no air conditioning mentioned as well. Stay in the Nowra wardroom and fly out early in the morning in time to fly the dawn insertion was suggested. Can’t do, wardroom substandard, no air conditioning, and being on an airfield any night flying would disrupt their rest , have to stay in a motel. OK, stay in motel and fly out in time to meet the task. Can’t do on two grounds. Huey not equipped with RADALT so can’t fly over water at night (ship would be about half a mile off the coast), and besides can’t fly without breakfast and motel doesn’t serve that until 0700. The Army got their dawn insertion at noon.
