Steve 76,
Like the parable, but wasn't that Verse 76
We (the VicPol Air Wing) spent a week or so looking for some escapees around the Victorian countryside in 1981: after a few days, helicopter delivery of lunches seemed a good idea: by the way, all the characters in the photo are coppers !!!
819NAS were tasked from Prestwick to sanitise vast areas for the Polaris boats to leave for patrol: we'd refuel from RFA's:
Much of the Vertrep'ing was done by either ourselves (Sea Kings) or ships flight's Wessex V's:
I was lucky enough to score most of the jolly's in my time on 826NAS: this was our last flight from Eagle into Kai Tak:
Water landings in the S61N are always good, so much hull area to absorb the touch down. Dave Whyte in the LH seat, now boss of Alpine Helicopters, Kelowna BC
We had a spell in Eire, for some reason we finished up one day at Shannon (Peter Manktelow in the other seat, IIRC)
Kerry Packer set up a nice little area for his S76's, this is looking down from the pilot's house to the hangar
