Sure, if it was in service during the Korean conflict circa 1951

I did a bit of digging and came-up with this.

When the Sydeny came into service, it was equipped with 2 Supermarine Sea Otters for rescue duties. They weren't a part of any squadron and operated as apart of the ships flight. They were removed at the start of the Korean war.

USN operated H-5 Sikorsky Seafly (S-51) was operated as the plane guard. The first ever helicopter to operated from an Australian warship. At the conclusion of the war the RAN bought the Bristol Sycamore for SAR.

Thanks cobber; I'll follow this one up as it looks interesting. I've still got some work to do on the Sydney, and I will eventually do a plan view as well; meanwhile I've begun the Melbourne; but I'm still looking for mote information on her appearance when operating Venom's and Gannet's, before her last modernisation.

Bill would you mind if I used your Sea Fury and Firefly on my early Centaur?

Please be my guest; I simply worked over some existing versions to more my liking, so you might be able to improve them further.

BTW, I don't suppose anyone has a Sea Venom up their sleeve?

I found this, either here, the old Sb or on another site/forum, just can't remember where. Credit to whoever did it, sorry I can't remember who you are.
