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 The aircraft was withdrawn from use on 12 August 1984 and sold.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.

Ex XG766, N6-766 received its Australian serial at the very end of its service life. It had been delivered in 1959 and flew as XG766 for 10 years. It was withdrawn from use in 1970. Sold in 1972, N6-766 became the subject of restoration projects in three countries: Australia (as VH-RAN), the UK (G-SPDR and G-VYPO) and South Africa. It has not flown since 1970.

N15-709 was sold on the civil market in 2001 and ferried to the UK as 3C-QQP. It was then bought by Horizon Airlines and ferried back to Australia. Plans to fit a large cargo came to an nought when Horizon Airlines failed in October 2003. N15-709 ended up at the Australian Aviation Museum, Bankstown Airport as a static display.
