So, what are the drones that we don't already have , not based at Woomera?

Ask at the Eldo club and don't you get some strange looks and replies......

Interesting.

Unidentified flying drone

It appears the Defence Force is not alone in flying high-performance drones across Australian skies.

Lieutenant Commander Bob Ferry says that in November 2011 a civilian Learjet operated by Pelair was engaging in target-towing duties for a naval gunnery exercise in a restricted zone off the southern NSW coast.

He said the Learjet encountered an unidentified high-performance drone flying 65 nautical miles east of Jervis Bay at a height of 3,000 feet.

The mystery drone did not belong to either the Australian or US military nor licensed civilian drone operators. The Navy says investigations are continuing.

I guess they are the ones. Woomera as part of the RAAF's Ardu facilities are always carrying out operational tests on aeroplanes they operate.

But mums the word in the Eldo club.

There are also international "visitors" there who are very shy when you approach them at the bar.... and security....I know nuffink....

just adds to what I've said in previous posts about these aircraft that haven't existed in the RAAF livery.

52 hours endurance ? I was guessing at around 24.......

just don't understand why they have to lie.
