Fokker F27 500

I was fortunate to see VH-EWP a Fokker F27 500 of the Royal Australian Navy Hydrology Unit cruising around the southern suburbs of Adelaide today. I managed to get a few distant photos and I have put them up on the web site. I was hoping to be there when the fired her up and get some decent video.

This is the only Fokker F27 still registered in Australia.
