The Tasmanian Division of the Fleet Air Arm extend to HMAS SYDNEY & VLSVA members an invitation to attend Kapyong Day to be commemorated on the 24th of April 2011 in Launceston which will be over some 3-4 days.

805,808 and 817 Squadrons were taken on board HMAS Sydney in 1951 with some 2366 sorties, 11 aircraft lost, 77 damaged with fatalities 2kia, 1Mia and 6 wounded in action.

It’s from this history that it will be the 60th anniversary of the Fleet Air arm as it will be of HMAS Sydney.

I’m happy to say that the ‘Reunion’ theme will be a most welcome addition to this special commemorate event. Additional information will be made available as it comes to hand.

We intend to put together an invitation/ program with travel and accommodation detail as soon as possible. I will also add here that we intend to invite those countries who were a part of the United Nations forces at that time.
Kind regards
Tas Browning
President/Treasurer
Tasmanian Division Fleet Air Assoc.
