    		N/A N/AAllocated to the RAEME Aircraft Training School at Oakey QLD. This is a training aid and NOT an aircraft.

    When the R A A F originally received Blackhawks, a spare cabin section was transported to Australia as deck cargo on a ship. However, it was declared unserviceable on arrival due to exposure to sea water.

    The cabin section was displayed in the Oakey Museum for some time but it was later decided that it could be better used so it has been gradually built up into an impressive and functional training aid. Several modifications have been made to allow access to areas usually inaccessible.

    The aid is a credit to all who have built it up over the years.
