  • We Envy No Man on Earth Because We Fly. the Australian Fleet Air
    We Envy No Man On Earth Because We Fly. The Australian Fleet Air Arm: A Comparative Operational Study. This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Murdoch University 2016 Sharron Lee Spargo BA (Hons) Murdoch University I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………………………………………………….. Abstract This thesis examines a small component of the Australian Navy, the Fleet Air Arm. Naval aviators have been contributing to Australian military history since 1914 but they remain relatively unheard of in the wider community and in some instances, in Australian military circles. Aviation within the maritime environment was, and remains, a versatile weapon in any modern navy but the struggle to initiate an aviation branch within the Royal Australian Navy was a protracted one. Finally coming into existence in 1947, the Australian Fleet Air Arm operated from the largest of all naval vessels in the post battle ship era; aircraft carriers. HMAS Albatross, Sydney, Vengeance and Melbourne carried, operated and fully maintained various fixed-wing aircraft and the naval personnel needed for operational deployments until 1982. These deployments included contributions to national and multinational combat, peacekeeping and humanitarian operations. With the Australian government’s decision not to replace the last of the aging aircraft carriers, HMAS Melbourne, in 1982, the survival of the Australian Fleet Air Arm, and its highly trained personnel, was in grave doubt. This was a major turning point for Australian Naval Aviation; these versatile flyers and the maintenance and technical crews who supported them retrained on rotary aircraft, or helicopters, and adapted to flight operations utilising small compact ships.

    Gordons Bay Scuba Diving Club: A dive wreck for Sydney- the Sydney for Sydney 1| Page Gordons Bay Scuba Diving Club: A dive wreck for Sydney- the Sydney for Sydney Gordons Bay Scuba Diving Club Inc. (GBSDC) The Sydney for Sydney Dive Wreck Proposal Coogee NSW March 2017 Executive Summary With therecent announcement by Defence Minister Marise Payne that the decommissioned ex-HMAS Sydney (4) will be offered as a dive wreck, there is a very strong case for Coogee to become its new home. Similar dive wrecks off Townsville, Avoca Beach and other locations around Australia have brought in millions of dollars to the economy and greatly assisted biodiversity by acting as artificial reefs for fish and marinelife. Sunk 4km off the coastline, there will be no visibility of the wreck from the beach, preserving the natural beauty and amenity of the area. Aproperly managed dive wreck has the potential for over 100 years of -useful life, and will provide recreational activity and economic benefits for generations to come. This dive wreck will be a great asset to Sydney's eastern beaches and to the one million Australians who take part in diving and snorkeling every year. Not only will it appeal to local divers, but also it’s potential as an international diving attraction, which is estimated to contribute up to $7m annually to the NSW economy. The member for Coogee, Bruce Notley Smith arranged a meeting on 16 November 2016 with the Minister for Primary Industry Niall Blair. Questions raised by the DPI as to why the department was not going to submit an expression of interest for the ex HMAS Sydney (4) were tabled.
