Strewth Sheila!
« on: June 30, 2008, 10:54:52 AM »
In Sydney :-

"Defence officials have had to allay the concerns of Sydney office workers, who watched as an air force fighter chased what appeared to be a passenger plane.

Some people thought Australia's most popular city might be coming under attack.

Instead the Australian Defence Force was bidding farewell to one of its aircraft.

The media had been alerted about the fly-past over Sydney harbour bridge but not, apparently, the public.

A number of office workers decided to evacuate their skyscrapers after watching in alarm as a passenger plane flew low over Sydney harbour chased by an air force fighter."

I bet a few tinnies of the Amber Nectar were downed to calm their nerves!

I hadn't realised that the Australian Air Force had more than one plane

It hasn't now.

The display was for the retirement of the other one.
