Attended the Divisions yesterday for seeing out the Squirrel and Bravo Seahawk from FAA service very impressive parade on the ground, all concerned to be commended!

Flypast however not so good only one run down Runway 21 and only after everyone had dispersed to the Museum for lunch otherwise 2 passes at right angles to everyone and against the sun... but good to see 4 squirrels and 2 Bravos fly in formation for the last time...

There's a photo on the ADF Squirrel FaceBook page of an ex-RAN AS350BA (devoid of all markings and Main Rotor blades) at what looks like ANAM Moorabbin and described as belonging to Jayrow. Can anyone provide a possible tail number? I understand a total of eight Budgies were offered for disposal.
