Merlin III VH-CAM

Geoff recalls "It was a long flight up and back by Merlin, refuelling each way at Mount Newman. [The] tech and I were unceremoniously dropped off and left to set up a temporary Tower for the royal visit. We were only needed for the next 2 days but were left there for 5 days to fit in with the Merlin's busy schedule." The photo above shows the Merlin temporarily parked on a new apron specially constructed for the royal visit. The photo below shows the Merlin about to taxy, having dropped off Geoff and the tech. Geoff's comment: "Please don't leave us here...!"
