On 29 April 2014, the Australian Vice Chief of the Defence Force (VCDF), Air Marshal Mark Binskin, AC, and foreign Defence Attaches visited RAAF Base Pearce.
The intent of the visit was to thank the multinational team for their efforts in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. Following group photographs in front of the aircraft flown by the participating Nations in the search for MH370, both the VCDF and Commander Air Task Group, Group Captain Craig Heap, addressed all personnel at the RAAF Base Pearce Combined Mess.
They both reiterated that the search for MH370 has now transitioned from a visual and acoustic search to an underwater search. VCDF also emphasised that all Nations involved in the search have been working cohesively as a single team, in an attempt to bring closure for the families of those aboard MH370.
The Kiwi P-3K2 arrived back at Whenuapai this afternoon.
