A8-141 (cn D1-17) Stbd (Navigator’s) side view of the Cockpit / Crew module of RAAF F-111C A8-141, displayed at the 2001 Avalon International Airshow. (An F-111 model is visible at rear.) A8-141 crashed in the Hauraki Gulf in New Zealand on 26Oct1978 after a fire started in the main wheel well during an emergency fuel dump. The crew escaped in the Crew Module, which acted as a 'life-boat’ when they landed on the water. (The control columns then acted as bilge pumps!) |

A8-148 / 148 (cn D1-24) RAAF F-111C A8-148 after take-off at an Amberley Airshow in mid-1976. The wings are swept forward at 26 degrees, with slotted flaps/slats deployed, and the Pratt & Whitney TF-30 engines are making some black smoke. The aircraft performed a spectacular display routine (including a 'Dump and Burn'). A8-148 was the Last F-111C received (Delivered Dec1973) in the initial batch of 24 aircraft. (The RAAF F-111 fleet was retired on 03Dec2010.) |

A8-125 / 125 (cn D1-01) A8-125 (the RAAF's First F-111) did the first Dump and Burn I saw and photographed at Amberley during an Airshow in Mid-1976. The 'swing-wings' of F-111C A8-125 are swept forward at 26 degrees in this view of the 'Flaming F-111' diving past clouds. The F-111 fleet was retired from RAAF Service on 03Dec 2010. A8-125 was the First F-111 to arrive at Amberley on 01Jun1973, and the Last to land at Amberley on 03Dec2010. The F-111 and its famous Dump and Burn display will be missed. |

A8-125 / 125 (cn D1-01) A8-125, carrying an AGM-84A Harpoon missile at Fairbairn in 1985. Two of the RAAF's newly acquired F/A-18s were demonstrated to Air Force personnel that day, including a demo flight for the Minister for Defence (Kim Beazley) in F/A-18B A21-103. A8-125 was the first F-111C acquired by the RAAF, and she was also the last F-111 flown by the RAAF (by CO 6 Sqn WG Cdr Michael Gray, at Amberley on 03Dec2010). The aircraft retired wearing a 'maritime grey' paint scheme. |
