A101 Bomarc RAAF

 

As part of its Inapertwa project, the decision was taken to purchase a modern SAM system to protect the cruise missiles against surprise attack. The Boeing Bomarc system was chosen as part of a layered defensive system. Over 50 launchers were installed in and around Darwin airstrip along with the associated radars. This is a model of A101-89, a SAM which was never launched in anger, doing it's job to deter possible attack against the Inapertwa cruise missiles.
