Thanks for the photos (and the link from Hit'emwiththeWagner). Time flies, did not seem it was like 1979 when this happened. Wasn't sure that the RAAF recruitment display was this capsule or the one that ditched in the Gulf, when I last saw it, the caption read it was from the Ohakea crash. The Ohakea capsule actually came down through the flames initially then a gust of wind blew it sideways. I was there when they extracted the crew. From memory the plane was fully armed and fueled en-route to Fiji? When the wreckage was being recovered, there was still fuel left in it and it had to be defueled first. There is a sequence of photos taken of the flame out and aqua-planning the length of the strip and then the cart wheel off the end. I last saw this sequence on the wall of an RNZAF Engineer at Defence HQ so it might still be under wraps.
