As for the rescue helicopter it is based up north and used on contract. Check out the Heliwest website and I am pretty sure it states it there.

They are not the Macci's that the RAN or RAAF had.

Possibly a long time ago - but they were last used by the Republic of Singapore Airforce as trainers, but they now use PC21s, hence why they got rid of the Aermacchis.

They parked it nice for a change, shame the mechanics hoist was in the way.
