"Updated 5 November 2009

The dedication of the Naval Aviation Roll of Honour will take place at the Memorial Garden at the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Nowra on Remembrance Day, November 11.

The dedication ceremony will start at 10.15am and a large contingent of current serving sailors, guests and Fleet Air Arm Association members is expected to attend.

All Association members have been invited to join the ceremony. Medals to be worn.

Introductions, historical overview and dedication will be before the Remembrance Day service, followed by a fly-past of naval aircraft and the oration by the guest speaker. Light refreshments will be provided.

The Association is establishing the Roll of Honour in memory of those who have lost their lives in aircraft incidents while serving their country. The Association's Federal Council at its annual meeting on October 3 endorsed the proposal.

The aim of the Roll of Honour is to create a permanent memorial honouring:

RAN, RANR and RANVR personnel who lost their life as a result of naval aircraft operations; and
Other Service persons who lost their lives as a result of Australian naval aviation operations.
The Association sees a Roll of Honour as a fitting way to pay special tribute to men and women who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

Some 89 names have been identified for inclusion and they were selected using agreed criteria:

RAN, RANR and RANVR personnel who died as a result of naval aircraft operations. The list contains the names of all RAN aircrew who lost their lives in aircraft-related incidents. The term "incident" covers those killed in action as well as those who died as a result of an aircraft accident. Not all these persons died as a result of a RAN accident, as a number died while serving with the Royal Navy or while flying in the United Kingdom. The important criteria is that they were RAN, RANR or RANVR aviators and that their death was due to a flying incident.
Other Service persons who lost their lives as a result of Australian naval aviation operations.
This list covers those Service personnel, other than RAN, RANR or RANVR, who died while engaged in Australian naval aviation operations. For example, up to and during World War 2, RAN cruisers carried aircraft piloted by RAAF officers of 9 Squadron. Some of these aircraft were involved in naval aviation accidents and in enemy action.

Using the above criteria, the RAAF personnel who were onboard the RAN Sea King helicopter which crashed at Nias in April 2005 qualify for inclusion on the Roll of Honour.

The Australian Naval Aviation Roll of Honour will be sited inside the structure known as the Wall of Service. Each name will be recorded on a plaque of similar size to the ones used for the Wall of Service.

This list of names has been accepted as qualified to be on the Roll of Honour at the present time."
