22, an 817 Squadron Sea King helicopter, made four good catches
in Sydney Harbour recently.
The Albatross-based helicopter crewed by LEUT Nathan Lewis, LEUT
Leith Sherwin, CPOA Phil Vincent and LSA Scott Bennet flew to
HMAS Waterhen to provide the practical demonstration for a survivalat-
sea course conducted by senior survival trainer PO Peter Robinson.
A demonstration of vests, life raft and other safety and survival
devices by PO Robinson and LS Damien Cahill took place on the
Quarterdeck.
A RHIB took ABCK Paul Bailey, ABMW Shane Constable and ABMW Scott
Benstead, all in bright orange suits and bright green vests and
LSCD Dean Martin, a safety diver, (all four from HMAS Yarra) off
the base and put them into the water.
While LEUT Lewis held his aircraft above the waves his crew completed
the rescue drills The demonstration was part of an ongoing program
to keep RAN personnel acquainted with survivalat- sea procedures.
