HARS flypast -Sydney ANZAC Day

Hmmm, thats three HARS members posting on the one thread. Thats a better roll up than on the HARS forum.

HARS FLYOVERS FOR ANZAC MARCHES

It was really good of HARS to do a flypast over Sydney today(25th April), for the 2012 ANZAC Days celebrations.

In a nice tight line astern, first the Catalina, followed by the C47 and then followed by a Caribou. Thank you HARS for a for your time and efforts.

Regretfully as a march participant, I did not have a camera with me to record this event, hopefully a forum reader may have got a shot?

Thanks ever so much Macca……your acknowledgement is most certainly appreciated by HARS members like myself who spent considerable time and effort to launch the aircraft on ANZAC Day……although the aircraft were’nt showen on the TV coverage the issue for HARS was to simply get them over the various marches for the veterans to see that their past efforts are still respected and remember…….LEST WE FORGET.

Correction

The Connie flew in place of the Neptune and the Tiger didn’t fly due to the strong winds.

G’day 😉

With Shell sponsorship of the fuel [count the big radials in the list!?], HARS has been doing Anzac Day flypasts in the Illawarra for several years.

Shellharbour and Wollongong have been there from the start, last year Kiama was added and this year Albion Park and Sydney joined the event.

While the Connie was an original and the Winjeel was sold by its owner, the ex-Mil Neptune P2V-7, C-47B, DH-82A, DHC4, PBY-6A [configured to wartime -5A standard] all participated yesterday.

The Cat’s original wartime logbooks were also handed over to HARS at a ceremony yesterday.

G’day 😉

Hullo Macca, glad you enjoyed the HARS flypast. I watched the ABC TV coverage and you would never have known there was a flypast from that. Too much trouble to point a camera skywards.
