Maybe Wessex was involved in this Australian four ship jolly and he can identify the location with his inaugaural post?
Pity about the accompanying music.

Re: Queen of the skies - Australian version
Music is a bit naff. However, the location is HMAS ALBATROSS, at Nowra, Jervis Bay NSW. THats about 100 miles south of Sydney. It's dated about the late 1970's, early 80's. The aircraft lined up are Asw Trackers, ready to be sold. Very depressing time for the RAN birdies as the government pulled the plug on fixed wing flying.
ALBATROSS has gone through a massive transformation since then. All the WW2 type married quarters have gone, replaced in part by the Army parachute training school, and the whole base has been modernised.
