Flying Stations II is a chronology of the last quarter-century of Australian Fleet Air Arm activities and events from 1998 until 2022. Published to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the FAA on 3 July 2022, it follows the original 1998 volume of Flying Stations which chronicled the first 50 years of the FAA.The period 1998-2022 saw much expansion and activity within the FAA, including the welcome return of large flight decks to the RAN in the form of the LHDs HMAS Canberra and Adelaide. A long-time FAA workhorse, the Sea King, was retired while new fleets of MRH-90 Taipans and MH-60R Seahawks were introduced. HMAS Albatross also welcomed ADF helicopter training operations with the Eurocopter EC-135T2+ which replaced the long-serving AS350B Squirrels. The FAA also saw its share of challenges during this time. The ill-fated Seasprite acquisition resulted in a litany of failures before the program was cancelled in 2008. The crash of Sea King Shark 02 in Indonesia in 2005 was a traumatic event that saw the loss nine lives. The subsequent inquiry identified serious shortcomings in FAA maintenance and operational practices which subsequently led to much needed organisational and cultural change.As a pointer to future directions, 822X Squadron was formed in 2018 as an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle development unit. The story of Australian naval aviation is a proud and unique one. Flying Stations II captures the activities and ethos of the many hard-working men and women continuing the tradition of the FAA to the present day.

Quiet achievers in the most dangerous workplace in the world¿They are the 'Birdies' - the proud members of a unique fighting force unknown to the majority of Australians whose land and lives they have long protected.Officially known as the Australian Fleet Air Arm, they have operated as an aviation component of the Royal Australian Navy since 1947; quiet achievers in what is considered the most dangerous workplace in the world.Their "airfields" are the decks of purpose built aircraft carriers, landing strips pitching and rolling in deep blue water, far from land.Launching and landing their fixed wing aircraft in often atrocious weather and with no margin for error.These daring naval aviators were forever flying in the face of continually changing and challenging conditions. A unique form of aviation that has been variously described as like having an orgasm and a bowel evacuation simultaneously, or as the greatest ride of your life!From the early years of mostly seaborne activity the Birdies have evolved through search and rescue, anti-submarine warfare, and peacekeeping and humanitarian missions to global policing, anti-terrorism and anti-piracy. Today's Birdies, as intrepid as ever, now operate squadrons of the most sophisticated helicopters in the world, often within multinational forces.Researcher and author Sharron Spargo has close ties both to the veterans from those formative years and to those who are serving today. She has gathered their intensely personal accounts of front line action in the Korean and Vietnam wars, the Indonesian confrontation, the Cold War and the Gulf War; stories of a unique service that for too long has gone unheard and unacknowledged.This fascinating book places these quiet achievers, the Birdies, in their rightful place in Australia's naval and aviation history.

This tribute to a proud service surveys the history of the Royal Canadian Navy from its inception in 1910 to its demise in 1968. Although established as a declaration of Canada's independence from the imperial fleet, the RCN was the child of the Royal Navy. Its first ships were RN cast-offs, and for the next forty years officers trained in the British fleet -- their 'big ship time.' From these modest beginnings, the book deals with such related issues as the problem of imperial defense, the development of a naval service with a Canadian identity, and the evolution of a Canadian naval engineering capacity.
