Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

During my tour to Australia I also visited Melbourne. Not much military but lots of government and rescue stuff is based ate the old airport called Essendon.
Here are some pictures and fortunately the report about the Victoria Police Air Wing is also now online.

Very nice to see "Elsie" again.
I saw the N216/AC in July 2009 on the Greek island of Zakynthos during a forest fire.

Very nice pictures, thanks for sharing.
