I guess we should think ourselves lucky they weren't terrorists coming to attack us,

i remember when the coast of australia was patrolled by 2 orions going in diferent directions, and that was it.

Things have changed since those days, I wonder if they even have the orions doing coast watch now?

[lakeland27]

i don't know about the orions ,  but as you say things have changed.
