The Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA) member-nations – Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United Kingdom – Commemorated the FPDA 50th anniversary this afternoon, with a flypast and a naval vessel display put up by member-nations at the conclusion of Exercise Bersama Gold 2021. The weather was warm, humid and the overcast skies were hazy. Coupled with noon flypast (top lighting from the noon sun), all these combined to make a photographer's quest for the "best pictures" a nightmare and mission impossible. But looking on the bright side, there was no thunderstorm and our 5 nations are still buddies. Let's hope the 100th anniversary will be a great event for the next generation.
