At peace with the world and minding her own business, F-111C A8-129 at repose on Cocos Island during a visit on 21-22 June 1977. To underline the deterrent power of the F-111, it was deemed that the presence of A8-129 and another RAAF F-111 in the background had upset the balance of power in the Indian Ocean! This photo was kindly supplied by Martin Chalk who was the navigator on A8-129. Photo: Martin Chalk
