EPISODE 1: Sitting Ducks.
It is Tuesday the First of December … 1942 … at the height of the Second World War. The Australian Naval ship, HMAS Armidale, led by Lieutenant Commander David Richards with his brave young crew (average age 21), has been dispatched on an overnight mission to relieve wounded, ill and battle-weary Australian troops … and evacuate Portuguese civilians. And there’s another key objective, to land 63 Dutch East Indies (Javanese) fighters at Betano Bay, Timor. The mission does not go to plan. Having been spotted by the Japanese Air Force, Armidale is attacked on three separate occasions. Forced to hide in rain squalls to evade the attacks, Armidale misses the planned rendezvous at Betano Bay.
“At that time I think it would be pretty general to say that we were well aware of the fact that it would only be an act of God if we got out of this scrap that we were in. So at any rate, we two, the Armidale and Kuru were sent back … but we had to come back on different courses so that we wouldn’t be sailing together and give them more of a target.” Ordinary Seaman, Rex Pullen.
