NAVY SEA KINGS RESUME FLYING OPERATIONS

Navy's Sea King helicopters have commenced a graduated program to
resume flying operations following the completion of a series of rigorous
inspections and checks.

"The resumption of Sea King flying is a significant milestone," said
Navy's Maritime Commander Australia, Rear Admiral Rowan Moffitt today.

"We are confident that the comprehensive technical inspections and
system checks conducted over the past two weeks have provided the necessary
information to lift the suspension of flying operations of Navy's Sea
Kings."

Meanwhile, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Team (AAIT) continues
its thorough investigative work into the Sea King accident on 02 April
2005 at Nias, in Indonesia.

The AAIT has confirmed that the disconnection of the flight control run
remains their primary line of enquiry.

The recently established Board of Inquiry continues its preliminary
work to determine the contributory facts and circumstances surrounding the
Sea King crash.
