    The story of the Grumman Tracker in RAN service

    A fascinating story, RAN pilots trained by civilian [ ex service, in the main] instructors because the RAAF was over stretched.

    I知 pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    The 2 RAR machine gunners, flying with the EMU's, the first and only time all three of Australia's armed forces, flew with an American helicopter company, in combat.

    Thanks Bob, lots of memories there having been an armourer on trackers, among other aircraft. Apparently the ones that have sat in a hanger in Sale fore years have been sold? Cheers, Pete.

    Not sure, but I know two minesweepers along side G.I. are up for auction. Did you know a pilot by the name of Criddle , Gary. He was the Skipper of my patrol boat, back in the 80's. Bit of a character. He was with the trackers in Broome, and when they left Broome, he says the trackers did a touch and go on one of the main roads into Broome.
