Probably the wrong flair. I was checking out a plane flying over and having a sticky-beak at other flights when I noticed this, flying south of us. Weird. Why come from Katherine when there is a RAF base near Bairnsdale?

Looking for Frederick Valentich.
Oh look, it’s what my Robovac does if there is a singular sock on the ground
It looks like a search pattern. Perhaps there is a new theory about MH370 …
Because the MQ-4 fleet is based at Tindal. All of the infrastructure to support it is there, and isn’t at Bairnsdale.
Cam Strachan might have come out of retirement
Searching for oil/gas.
There is defence force training operations in the Bass Strait until early May I believe. Airforce and Navy
Pretty standard search/loiter pattern. Don’t quote me on this but I think it’s even a preset in some newer autopilots.
Triton is an UAV, so makes even more sense.
Maybe it’s for SAR? (Search and rescue) Perhaps checking r/flightradar24 or r/aviation would be beneficial – I’d bet there’s many bright minds into aviation over there.
Cool operational capabilities. Wonder which one of those roles its carrying out over there.

Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards

Here’s the full path if you’re interested OP.
Initially thought it might have been a training exercise, but that’s a long way to go for training
It landed and departed at RAAF Edinburgh, not Tindal
Theyre looking for Harold Holt again
Ah, so that’s what it looks like without an ad-blocker. Learn something every day.
Looking for Chinese submarines?!!!
Yeah, really weird that you are not using adblock.
You could benefit from some ad blocking DNS. 🙂 It makes apps significantly more pleasant. Check out NextDNS and AdGuard DNS.
Searching for Frederick Valentich?
Planting chemtrails… soon there will be a massive storm.
Hunting for subs maybe?
It’s a search.
The pilot must be playing candy crush
