The RAAF taught turn backs a long time ago, but changed that after several fatal accidents while practicing
Any details what accidents and when the change sheppey? As far as I know it was still in use on the last Vampire course. Macchi at Nowra had a successful turn back in 1982 after the engine swallowed a bird whilst loaded with a passenger plus practice bombs and a minigun pod.
