As from the International Review site here http://www.navy.gov.au/ifr/events/aviation-program

The air displays will comprise a 'Salute to Navy' and will include heritage and emergency services civil aircraft. A full program will be available on this page closer to the date.

Highlights include;

■Navy helicopters demonstrating winch rescues, diver insertion, boarding party delivery and other capabilities
■RAAF Roulettes
■Heritage aircraft including Catalina, C-47 Dakota, Lockheed Super Constellation
■Heritage helicopters formerly operated by the RAN including UH1B Iroquois, Sea King and Kiowa
■RAAF AP-3C Orion and F/A-18A

I certainly didn't think any of ours were airworthy and if it is one of ours, which one is it?

I wonder if they will be putting the Kiowa in Navy colours?

Thanks Brendan.

It looks like it may have been an error. Sea King is now gone and 109E in its place.

I didn't think it would be worthwhile to bring a static Sea King to Sydney for the Review.
