Army Kiowa at Granville Oval
 

Driving past Granville Oval about 30mins ago I noticed this Army Bell 206 Kiowa (A17-001) sitting there under military guard. Wandered over to the army guys & got chatting for about 20mins. They said that chopper was flying around when the pilots got an indication in the cockpit advising them that metal shavings were floating around in the engine oil. Quick inspection by the mechanics & they said that it is right to fly back to the Holsworthy base in the morning. However they were more than happy to let me take photos of the "sick" bird.

Cant believe I missed a closer look, Im only 5mins away............
Nice pics!!!

Great Photo's thanks for posting them.

The thing would be up on bricks and set on fire if there were no guards there


Lovely part of town

Settle peeps, I am almost across the road from that Park, and its no where NEAR as bad as it is being made out!!!

Have to agree with Bernie, its not as bad as people make it out...
Its actually a really nice area!

People are just scared of the unknown...

Also formerly residing 5 minutes away from this park, I too concur that it really isn't as bad of an area as people make it out to be.

Nice photos Jayden! :)
