At the Bicentenial Airshow at Richmond (Australia 1988), we took an old S2G Tracker from the RAN Historic Flight for the show complete with zoonie pods etc on the wings. Got a bit boring after a couple of days so we stuck RADHAZ stickers on the inert zoonies, pulled them out the tubes a bit so people could see them and waited. Within a couple of minutes of the show opening, we were already being asked if we had nuclear weapons in which we replied "we can neither confirm or deny that we have them". A few hours later, a very irate senior RAAF officer asked "please explain!!". We couldn't so we had to remove them. Those familar with Trackers would know that the open nose door was a very good place to be with a nice skirt in the cockpit and it was a very hot 8 days!
