Stbd (Navigator’s) side view of the Cockpit / Crew module of RAAF F-111C A8-141, displayed at the 2001 Avalon International Airshow. (An F-111 model is visible at rear.) A8-141 crashed in the Hauraki Gulf in New Zealand on 25Oct1978 after a fire started in the main wheel well during a fuel dump. The crew escaped in the Crew Module, which acted as a ‘life-boat’ when they landed on the water. (The control columns then acted as a ‘bilge pump’!)
