FWIW at ScribD there is now a 56 page 10.5Mb PDF about the Downdraught RW 26 at NAS Nowra along with info about the first night ejection in the ADF due strong westerly wing circuit turbulence: as always best to download the PDF and then view it with the latest ADOBE READER suitable for your operating system.

During the Sea Venom/Gannet era there were no LSOs aboard MELBOURNE. However the Venoms had the Observer in the right seat calling out the airspeed - a luxury I never experienced - only flying from the runways at Nowra with my head on a swivel back and forth peering out over the bulbous nose for the portable mirror/runway and back to airspeed. Anyhoo.... the graphic is a page from the 805 era squadron line book.
