An Australian Army Helo crew have been stood down pending investigation in to charges of sexual harresment during last months Indy Car race on the Gold Coast in Queensland
The chopper flew low over the crowd and displayed a sign asking women to bare their breasts. The public are behind the crew claiming that it was all a bit of fun and that the women who go to this event are usually scantly clad anyway!
The ADF are not impressed nor are feminist movements in Australia, and are claiming that the crew be charged with sexual harrasment. Another woman has also claimed that the crew inadvertantly caused her harm when flying low over the crowd to ogil the women, apparently debris from the down draft flew into her legs and damaged her knees.
Here is a pic of the crew and the offending sign.
