The rumours are true, except for the fact that a troop of 6 Huey's will stay around to look after SAR and Loadmaster training at Oakey (until the new commercial contract), and any other tasking as required (ie. Solomons, cyclones; illegal immigrants etc.). This is finally the end of Iroquois in the Australian Defence Force. As for sending them to the Navy, that was going to happen before the Army first got them. I even did a course in 1988 to accept 11-12 of them for the Navy! But alas, the Army got greedy and took the lot!
