@euromellows I am planning to join the RAN after school. What is it like? I need a first person view. And whats RAS?
-
My Dad was on the Vampire back in the 70s before transferring to Subs. I had the honour of following in his footsteps and joined the RAN roughly 30 years after he did. Thanks for posting this clip! I remember doing many a RAS before paying off in 2009.

I was on Sydney that trip.ask your father but I swear that day Vamps came up to fuel and a blow up batman or something I cant remeber exactly,blew away and vamps turned and went back and got it and came back and fueled, I am certain it was this RAS. the film you have of her approaching was after she recovered the stupid blow up that flew of, And I could be wrong but when she approached in the film there is a batman blow up on top of the bridge so that may be what they went back to get. :-)

Very old school, 696 UHF and AJE

Nice to see the old Bat survives as a museum piece in Sydney Harbour.
Few warships get that honour around the world. Sadly ,majority are scrapped or sunk as fishing reefs. Good old 11, 11. A lucky number indeed.
Will we ever see a HMAS Vampire 2 ? An Aircraft Carrier perhaps?

@princejuchau how was it like ? what was your rank ?
-
great video clip. I'm a 20 year vet of the US Navy. Signalman. I tried to read the aussie signalman at 1.40 and all i caught was " ..is not alym...".
-
excellent video, I myself was a stoker on this bat from 1982/4.
-
I was on the 'bat' in later years, but watching this really brought back memories. Many many thanks. Nothing like a RAS to break the monotony.

Great clip, loved it.
My only criticism is that it would've been nice to see it in normal speed. LW02 never turned that fast!

Hi,
I took the footage from my husband's old 16mm film - no changes of speed were applied by me but maybe the frame rate of converting 16mm to video sped it up a bit.
