The light colour of the jackets could be the light blue of the Bavarian uniform, although I agree the facial features do not appear to be Germans.

Fremantle Class Patrol Boats

The group I saw in 97 seemed to me to be a very cohesive crew and the skipper seemed to be well respected by his crew. -

Very sorry to see them go. I had some under OPCON for a couple of years (97-98) and first went to sea in them on HMAS Woollongong. Took a day or so for the crew to accept a khaki bod. They and their crews did a magnificent job. Real workhorses of the RAN and they worked under very difficult circumstances at times but always came up trumps. Hope they keep one for posterity.
