Worn by Able Seaman Ryan Beevor during his deployment to the Persian Gulf in 2005 as part of the HMAS Newcastle's complement. The shirts for the Flight 1 aviation team were made as part of a friendly rivalry with the HMAS Newcastle's boarding party. Beevor deployed in late May 2005 to the Persian Gulf in HMAS Newcastle as part of Operation Catalyst. Beevor served as a avionics technician, working on the 'Sea Hawk' helicopters with Flight 1, made up of members of 816 Squadron, RAN. Beevor returned to Australia in November 2005 after the completion of HMAS Newcastle's tour of operations.
