Fleet Base Sydney members turned out in some numbers for a run in Western Sydney, with a diverse range of models on show, including a number of offshore patrol vessels taking part.

Task Force 72 was invited to present a display of our models at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney, and despite relatively limited space, we were able to provide a display highlighting mostly Royal Australian Navy ships.
This year's Carriers & Escorts event, to be held at the Oasis Aquatic Centre in the NSW regional centre of Wagga Wagga, will have as its theme, tugs and similar vessels, such as the offshore energy industry's essential Anchor Handling Towing and Supply ships. A mid week run by several Fleet Base Sydney reps showed what's likely to be seen in Wagga this year.
