Thanks everyone! If only I had the money for one... How much for a tour with dive included? :mrgreen: Probably a few million split 20 ways? :lol: maybe we could start up a Shipbucket cruise line? ;) I would be quite happy with a place round the NSW/QLD border. West coast for me - Kimberley in the dr...

Thanks! I'm still curious about your radar fit. Two air-search radars are mentioned. Is the small elliptic antenna up top the short-range 3D search, as a backup for the PAR? If so, is it only that, a short-range low-power second-tier search radar for when the PAR doesn't have to be fired up or there...
