Wide Bay Training Area 1976. I was Coy Sig in the middle of Infantry Coy extended order crossing a 100 acre open area, with all eyes on the distant tree line forward. Two of these things came from BEHIND us at zero feet, scared the shit out of us and were gone before we hit the ground.. Exercise Umpire radioed up and said we'd just been 'strafed' and were now mostly WIA or KIA.
Seriously poor editing here!..Saying "Clear deck!" when the approach is anything but..They kept changing flight deck land on pattern from old British to modern American while trying to make us believe it's the same aircraft landing on!..Old sailors spot the nonsense immediatly, so why do it?

Who disliked this? Honestly who does that?
As a canadian , I can only dream of what could have been ....
First scenes were from a tv series patrol boat
we did things different back then.
Awesome 👍🇳🇿
there's a big chance that some of that footage was shot by David Eggby, cinematographer of the first Mad Max...

Fair go..........we are talking about something that was filmed at least 40 years ago!!!
