Australian Naval Aviation Museum Are Tangible Examples of Your Continuing Interest and Support The Quarterly Journal of the Fleet Air Arm Association of Australia Volume 7 Number 2 April 1996 Published by the Fleet Air Ann Association of Australia Inc. - Print Post Approved - PP201494/00022 Editor: John Arnold-PO Box 662, NOWRA NSW 2541, Australia - Phone (044) 232014 - Fax (044) 232412 Slipstream - April 1996 - Page 2 FOREWORD by Rear Admiral Murray B Forrest AM RAN Assistant Chief of Naval Staff (Personnel) Although I have never really been closely associated with the Fleet Air Arm, I do remember a rather daunting day or two at sea in MELBOURNE as a Cadet and several great Gunroom and Wardroom parties; looking through back numbers of your very spirited and entertaining magazine also reminds me of some wonderful people of my youth; and I do have many friends among your number . But that said, we are all a part of the same very fine Service and as Navy's current 'people' person, I am delighted to come to the party. Professionally, my early dealings with Naval Aviation were confined to the not so glamorous world of logistics where I was amazed by the staggering quantities of bits and pieces demanded by Air Engineers to keep those airframes flying and also gained an understanding of their commitment to air worthiness. The ROE [role of effort] has not diminished! Now, I have to man the aircraft and provide the technicians; not always an easy task but, as ever, there are many fine people in the Naval Personnel Division and the wider community to assist. In that role, the excellent contribution of the Fleet Air Arm Association in maintaining the esprit de corp is invaluable. Slipstream and the Australian Naval Aviation Museum are tangible examples of your continuing interest and support. The face of Naval Aviation is changing . No longer is the operational focus centered on the squadron alone; rather it is increasingly upon the flights deployed to very many of our fleet units that our concept of operations is based. Elsewhere in this edition, there is an article which describes the establishment of Commander, Australian Naval Aviation Force, put in place by CNS to meet the RAN's need for a restructured organisation for the planning and operation of a fully integrated Aviation Force. Navy is well served by the commitment of its people, their training and their professionalism, and our platforms and sensors are second to none in the region in technological capability; it is the way we direct and operate those resources which determines how we fight and whether we win. I am confident the FAA Association is well able and willing to assist us in meeting the challenges of the future. I have heard that the association is arranging for the history of the FAA to be written and what an excellent undertaking this is. I hope all of you will lend support _in whatever way you can to this venture. This type of initiative is invaluable in cementing the relationships between naval aviation personnel of yesterday and those of tomorrow. I wish you all well.

The Strategic Defence Review does just that. By modernising and reshaping our Armed Forces to meet the challenges of the 21st century, this Review will give our Services the firm foundation they need to plan for the long term. 2. The Review is radical, reflecting a changing world, in which the confrontation of the Cold War has been replaced by a complex mixture of uncertainty and instability. These problems pose a real threat to our security, whether in the Balkans, the Middle East or in some troublespot yet to ignite. If we are to discharge our international responsibilities in such areas, we must retain the power to act.

I am particularly pleased with the way the Trust continues to develop the fascinating Mary Rose story, with the latest scientific research revealing more compelling stories about the origins of the Mary Rose’s ship’s company, showing Tudor England was most likely far more diverse than we thought. It all makes for a spellbinding story and one that visitors continue to find as compelling as we all did when we were diving on, and excavating, the ship all those decades ago. I remain immensely proud of having played a small part in recovering the immense treasures of the Mary Rose for the nation and send my heartfelt thanks to all those, past and present, who support the Trust and help make sure that future generations can be inspired by this truly remarkable story. 3 MARYROSEANNUALREPORT MR Final after Chair.indd 3 30/09/2019 16:08 Highlight of our trip to Portsmouth.
