Since HMAS SYDNEY, with the 20th Carrier Air Group embarked, sailed into Sydney Harbour in 1949 and the commissioning of HMAS ALBATROSS as RAN AIR STATION at Nowra in 1948, many thousand Air Crew, Squadron and Air Station personnel have had the privilege of playing a part in creating the professionalism of the Fleet Air Arm, a proud, elite element of Australia’s Defence Force and the greatest of aviation and naval experiences.

So it is appropriate to establish a strong national body, which can unite those eligible to be members with the great bond of past, present and future comradeship, for the common good and mutual benefit of all.
