'Taipan 2', one of a pair of RAN Squirrels that displayed at the Australian International Airshow. Originally delivered to the RAAF as A22-023 on 27 November 1984, this helo was assigned to the ADF Helicopter School at RAAF Fairbairn, Canberra. It was transferred to the RAN in October 2000, still in its original white and blue scheme. It's since adopted this more 'warry' grey scheme.

This was one of two RAN 723 Squadron A-109s that had just arrived at Essendon to operate in support of the 'Black Saturday' bushfire-fighting operations. It wears a 'summer uniform' white scheme (the RAN's other two are black and grey). This helo originally operated as an EMS aircraft, based in the French city of Laon from May 2002 and using the temporary Italian rego I-LAON. It was later re-registered F-GLEI. It came to Australia with the temporary registration VH-NPX before being leased to the RAN.

XA101 seen here in the graveyard at Bankstown dismantled for transportation. It was sold for $200 to the Camden Museum Aviation Museum. The museum still owns it but the collection is no longer open to the public. In the photo XA101 has been stripped of its Australian navy markings, exposing an earlier code. At the time of retirement in 1968, XA101 was NW-806. It was 873 when it arrived in Australia in 1959, transferred from the Royal Navy which acquired it in 1953.

This is one of those tricky ones! The original WB518 was built for the RAN and delivered in 1950. In 1965 it was delivered to Bankstown for disposal and eventually bought by the town of Griffith, NSW, as a war memorial and mounted on a pole in the centre of town. After VH-HMW/WD828 crashed in 1987, WB518 was removed from its pole and the forward fuselage and centre-section was used to rebuild WD828. The corresponding bits from WD828 were used to reconstruct WB518, and it was re-mounted on its pole.

This is one of those tricky ones! The original WB518 was built for the RAN and delivered in 1950. In 1965 it was delivered to Bankstown for disposal and eventually bought by the town of Griffith, NSW, as a war memorial and mounted on a pole in the centre of town. After VH-HMW/WD828 crashed in 1987, WB518 was removed from its pole and the forward fuselage and centre-section was used to rebuild WD828. The corresponding bits from WD828 were used to reconstruct WB518, and it was re-mounted on its pole.

Since I last photographed this helo in October 2007, it has been painted in this stunning 'Tiger' scheme for the 60th Anniversary of 816 Squadron, RAN Fleet Air Arm, in 2008. It's also sprouted an EO turret and various other EW lumps and bumps. Australia's first Seahawk made its first flight on 4 December 1987 carrying the Sikorsky flight test registration N7265H.

This was one of the replacement Trackers acquired by the RAN after the disastrous 1976 Nowra hangar fire. It is ex-USN Bu 153567 and retained that as the basis of its RAN serial. The aircraft was withdrawn from use on 12 August 1984 and sold. It was acquired as a training aid by Melbourne's Kangan TAFE in February 1994. In November 2013 it was acquired by the Vietnam Veterans Museum at Phillip Island, Vic.
