| Following up on the Seahawk training aids There are two Bromeos at Nowra. https://www.helis.com/database/modelorg/RAN-MH-60R/ refer to them being 166402 and 166403 (N48-032 and N48-033) Our photo disagrees Could the RAN's dyslexic signwriter have struck again? |

| There is also https://australianaviation.com.au/2018/05/australia-to-trial-helicopter-fatigue-testing-tech-on-an-ex-us-navy-seahawk/ that a retired USN Seahawk has been supplied to Australia for fatigue testing. Any further information would be most welcome. I wonder why we didn't just use one of our retired Bravos? |

I would suggest e-mailing the FAAAA Webmaster to ask about the serial numbers. He has referred very favourably to this website many times in FAAAA publications and online stories there. Mr Marcus Peake Webmaster Work Email: webmaster@theFAAAA.com |
