On Friday 5 October, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing P-8A Poseidon Maritime Surveillance Aircraft A47-001 was spotted completing a missed approach at Rockhampton Airport.
This was the second visit by a RAAF Poseidon in as many days after sistership A47-002 also completed airwork at Rockhampton Airport on Thursday 4 October - see Blog post below.
Like yesterday’s Poseidon, A47-001 flew South from Townsville (where it too had arrived the previous day) and after completing its airwork at Rocky, A47-001 looked to head South, completing more airwork at RAAF Base Richmond in New South Wales, before looking to eventually return to its home base at RAAF Base Edinburgh in South Australia.
A47-001 was heard to be using the radio callsign of "Mariner 45" which is also of the RAAF's 292 Squadron.
Sincere thanks to local plane spotters Kayanne H and Scott H for taking the time to capture and send through these great photos!
