A20-624 (cn 19624/689) Farewell to the B707 for RAAF, this being a farewell salute to Sydney over Sydney Harbour, the aircraft is also wearing a farewell scheme and is being flanked by a RAAF Hawk(I think), which I assume is being used for some aerial photography. |

1***** / NL-000 A Grumman C-1A Trader aboard the Vietnam War era Aircraft Carrier USS Coral Sea (CVA-43, San Francisco's Own), during her 1970 visit to Garden Island Dockyard in Sydney. The folded wings make the aircraft more compact on deck (and in the hangar below). The Royal Australian Navy operated similar looking S-2E Trackers from HMAS Melbourne at this time. |
