The Navy Hydrology Unit's Fokker F27 500 was flying around southern Adelaide again today under the callsign "Navy Survey". Tail Tag VH-EWP. This aircraft was seen late afternoon 17-6-08. Last I heard on the scanner at about 1805 hours local time, was a heading for Corny Point on the Yorke Peninsula.

I was lucky enough to snap this shot as the Fokker came east before heading off to Corney Point. The late afternoon sun was a nice touch to the photo.

Several flights reported hearing an EPIRB signal on 121.5 on 17-6-08 at approximately 1625 local time. It was monitored by several aircraft for about 10 minutes. At this time ATC reported the authorities had IDENT on the unit and monitoring was no longer required.

If we hear any further info we will pass it on.

0945 Tuesday 3rd June 2008. We are still hearing about flight diversions to atlernates from Melbourne and Sydney.

Lucky Adelaide, still visual approaches.
