I meant he wasn't onboard in 1974.

I am pretty sure it was 1975. John Bartels (Sea King observer then, A4 pilot later and the Captain of the QANTAS 747 that had the emergency over the Phillipines a year or so ago) took some great stills on the day and he wasn't onboard in 1975

Good footage, would have been even better with sound but not that easy back then. I flew them 1973-1983 with VC 851 and VS 816. I was flying that day with the strong winds when we stayed inside Jervis Bay. Great times. JMac

I was a NAMAE in the R.A.N. My choice of aircraft was the S2e. Worked on 'em on board Melbourne and at Albatross...
Great footage, brought back great memories ...

It could have been early 1975 - TORRENS went into refit at Williamstown during 1975.

Thanks for the comment - glad to hear from someone who was actually there - most of the S2 footage was taken in 1972 when I was a bridge watchkeeper for 6 months but the JB segment I think was when I was aboard TORRENS in 1974.
