Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I was looking through my old directories and found some pictures of the Seaking Helicopter that crashed at Nias, Indonesia, on the day HMAS Kanimbla left Sydney with Shark 02 onboard.
I also found out some interesting facts about the Helo in question.
1. First flew on 06 Aug 1974. It was the second Seaking purchased for the RAN.
2. It carried Prime Minister Bob Hawke on a fleet review on 10 July 1989.
3. One month later It crash-landed into the ocean north of Darwin, due to engine overheating on 6 Aug 1989 but was recovered.
4. It carried Prime Minister John Howard on a tour of Aceh during OP Sumatra Assist.
5. One month later it crashed with the loss of nine lives on 2 April 2005. Cause of the crash is still being investigated.

Not something to be making jokes over, but isn't it odd how something always happens one month after a PM has been on board.

Thaddeus, that's close, very close, but what you shot there is Shark 21.  Which has definately not crashed as i saw it in the hangar onboard HMAS Kanimbla just this morning. (Fri 27 May 05)
Shark 21 was also embarked on Kanimbla for Op Sumatra Relief but has not been able to be returned to Naval Air Station Nowra due to the entire Seaking fleet being grounded until the Shark 02 investigation is completed. Shark 21 was the first on the scene at the 02 crash site and ferried the survivors back to Kanimbla.
