An incredably sad day for Australia....
We all too often hear little about the wonderful job our Service personnel do in support of other nations in distress on a reasonably regular basis......personnel onboard Kanimbla were effectively on their way home from helping out in one disaster when they were diverted to assist in yet another disaster relief project; this time with tragic consequences.
My sincerest condolences to everyone involved in these difficult and trying times, particularly the families, shipmates and squadron personnel. Our thoughts are with you all.
