Well a few weeks back when it was first announced it was grounded and a loaner was going to be used, there was definitely another aircraft used (different sound, had the FLIR and Nightsun attached and working).
No idea what it was though as it was night.

As munchy said - Rescue 65 base is no where near RFDS hangers - its located closer to Runway 24R/06L (EASTERN END)CHEV4EVR wrote:WAPOL spend money and lease something........more chance of seeing santa in his sleigh with a FLIR than the department leasing another chopper.
65 is based at Jandakot aswell near RFDS.
