History
repeated itself when three S-70B-2 Seahawk helicopters from 816
SQN were photographed in formation over Uluru recently. The aircraft
were returning to Nowra after a busy month in Western Australia.
Some of the activities undertaken included support to HMAS Stuart’s
workup, PWO sea training and Under Sea Warfare training against
Dechaineux.
For the historically minded, the photograph replicates a scene from
another era. Thirty one years ago in 1972 three Grumman S2E Trackers
were captured in a similar setting on their way to Broome for some
border protection patrols.
The photo of the Seahawks was taken by LSPH Brad Fullerton and the
shot of the three Grumman S2E Trackers was taken by CPOPH Richard
Briggs in a DC3 with his Linhof camera.
