Workhorse - E36 - RAAF C-130s - Zuiho Maru SAR with Don Sutherland

In late July 1995 a Japanese fishing trawler, the Zuiho Maru, was wrecked on tiny St Paul Island in the southern reaches of the Indian Ocean. 36SQN was tasked to search for survivors and provide aid. Don Sutherland was the mission commander for this epic search and rescue mission. He recounts the mission in detail, along with covering the highlights of his career: Operations in the first Gulf War while on exchange with the US Air Force, PNG operations, Commanding Officer 36SQN and Officer Commanding 84WG.
