Here is the ABC iView link to the whole shebang.
My brother in law, a retired Admiral is down there somewhere!
Not skitting of course, but I was a better chess player.
He he he!

I watched it on Sky News and the coverage was woeful. Such an awesome and significant event and Sky News coverage was worse that what a four year old could accomplish. Broken crossovers, misnamed ships, poor information and just woeful viewing. I think the same people that do the ANZAC Day coverage (ie the ABC) should have covered it.

My brother is on HMAS Gasgoyne and he said it was awesome and an honour to be there. The highlight for me - the Fleet Air Arm rotary flyover.

Will post pics when I wake up

Agree the coverage was bad and the Ford Salute was ruined by the female copresenter, she just could go 5 seconds without interupting with pointless comments, but oh well.

Think I passed the HMAS Gascoyne, if its currently in Sydney, shot past a few minesweepers on my friends runabout
