Nowra - Albatross, HMAS

1FAA Museum

From the museum, good views are possible of the 21 approach as well as the northern part of the operational ramp.

2Braidwood rd, west side ramp view

On the west side of the 23 threshold, Braidwood road can be found. This leads south past the perimeter fence and yields good views of the northern operational ramps.

3Approach runway 08

Continuing on Braidwood, you will pass the approach to runway 08. After a short while you can make a left into Parma road and when that road bends right go straight into the gravel track. Drive back to the fence turn left and proceed until you nearly reach Braidwood road again. From here, a spot in the 08 approach is easy to find.

4South west side ramp view and dump

When you go to spot 3, you will actually have to pull over past teh last bend, or walk to the crash gate. This will take you directly behind a dumped Wessex and SH-2G. From here the Seahawk ramp can also be seen and some can be reaqd off when they are parked in the right manner and the heat haze is not too severe.

5South side ramp view

For another angle at the Seahawks, in the odd case that they are not readable from spot 4, you can take Parma again. From Parma you have some views on the Seahawk ramp. Although the distance is bigger, due to the fact that the choppers have large side codes they can still be read.
