The Voice

also had the 'pleasure' of watching one of the aussie navy ships slip off the slip at Larrakeyah .. a few very good action photos taken on that flight ...
That's very interesting 'the voice'. Yes it was the Reims F406. But an observer who I was flying with today remembers that differently.

A beacon search in Darwin Harbour in the F406 when the controlled release of HMAS Gawler from its precarious perch on a broken lift went bad. It ended up with its stern and back deck underwater and the bow still on the lift.

Anyway there is no doubt that it’s a great job and you get to see some amazing sights.
