BLACKHAWKS .... IP: 1.129.17.193 Posted on 19/1/2023 at 11:16:06 AM by Peter Johnson CSM
Saw your message Dave about the new helicopters ans it is very pleasing that the government has confirmed the order for 40 new Blackhawks to replace the unreliable current line-up. This order was started by peter Dutton as Defence Minister so I'm glad that the Albanese government followed thru and said yes. It has been stated that defence wanted Blackhawks before the order went out for the French Taipans. Replies: There have been no replies.
