Memories! What great photos!
About that shot of the MMA F.27 taxying in (you can almost hear it screaming, can't you?) - the Friendship is either VH-MMR or -MMS (I believe the only two F.27's to wear the orange/chocolate scheme and MMA titles), the DC-3 in the background is VH-ABR while the two Beech 65's are VH-CFI (nearest the camera) with VH-CFD behind.
The only one I never got to fly was VH-ABR....

Terrific pix 'cac' thnxs![Thumb](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/thumbs.gif)
That RAF Comet 4( I think) is a great shot![Thumb](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/thumbs.gif)
All those 'T' jets looks like at EN obviously pre 1970 as I think Tulla opened to dom traffic in 1971, anyone?
As a kid I was a couple of miles from EN other side of the valley, I didn't have a chance back then, wish I had had camera.

I think you're right about the domestics shifting to Melbourne (Tullamarine) in 1971. My log book shows a flight out of EN on 18th June, followed by a flight out of ML on the 20th.
Love that EN tarmac shot - it certainly was a very busy & crowded apron.

this flight was a bone rattler

this flight was nausiating..flew like shuttlecock (from the back anyway at low level and the Perth easterlies) not my photo

Lovely phots C_S, with the best being the first one you posted
Nice that you captured the best of the RN's squadrons (although there is one forum member who may disagree). 1988 I think.

Neptune fantastic low level flight to Bussleton (with RAF exchange pilot) and return featuring flight over Rotto, dropping a parcel from sonobuoy chute to copilots family farm, all engines and jets flat out drag up the coast, low level initial (below the tacan dome) and pitch into a crowded macchi circuit..(he was matted by wing commander flying)
