Iroquois precautionary/emergency landing in Cairns?

Anyone got any more info about an emergency landing on the beach yesterday?

What I heard was there was a precautionary landing following "a warning light" - causing some bikini-clad tourists to rapidly vacate their sunbathing spots.

Maybe there was a particularly attractive one that warranted a closer look ... ?

Sure they didn't just think the downwash would blow some of the less secure bikini tops away?

Yours, mine and every other taxpayer in Oz. Had green camo and the name 'ARMY' on the tailboom. The beach (looked more like Buchans) is frequented by people who dont wear any clothes.
So it would have been pointless asking anyone if they had a pocket knife on them.
