Preparations Begin at Rockhampton Airport for Exercise Wallaby 2011

Don W at Rockhampton reports that preparations are beginning around Rockhampton Airport for the Singapore Armed Force's Exercise Wallaby 2011, which is scheduled to kick off next week.


The annual Exercise combines elements of the Republic of Singapore Army (RSA) and the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF). Rockhampton Airport is usually a staging point for most of the RSAF helicopters involved in the Exercise, as well as being the major port for inbound and outbound troop and cargo charters.


Spotted earlier this week on the ground at Rockhampton Airport was RSAF Lockheed C-130H Hercules '734'.
