Albatross air day 1969

CreatorWIN Television (Television station : Illawarra, N.S.W.)ContributorClark, JohnMoore, TerryDate16 October 1969DescriptionHMAS Albatross held an open day and air show to celebrate the twenty first anniversary of the Naval Air Station at Nowra on 12 October 1969. Lieutenant John Clark senior pilot of the tracker 816 squadron speaks to Terry Moore. The trackers are of twin engine design and made to search, detect and destroy submarines. Designed in 1949, flown in 1952, the tracker was considered the most formidable carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft in the world. Moore also speaks with Commander Callen leader of the Ram Jets. This is the first time an aerobatic display of the A-4 Skyhawk was shown. Air pressure suits are worn by pilots to avoid blood pooling in upper leg, calf and stomach and to keep blood in the brain thus stopping pilots from blacking out. Manoeuvring these aircrafts, pilots and aircraft pull on an average of four and a half to five G-force. Travelling around five hundred miles per hour the Skyhawks demonstrated with toy plastic bombs on an old Gannet aircraft. Episode: 379. Story by Makin/Moore.
