"Three. Bushranger Seven-One. We're back in the area now.
Bushranger Seven-One. Good to see you back. Do you think you'll be able to do a run while dustoff is in progress to keep their heads down for us? We've got Dustoff One here with us now. Do you want Three-Three to throw smoke?
Ah, that's affirmative to identify his position again.
This is Three-Three. Smoke thrown. Over.
I've got green smoke at three o'clock
This is Albatross Nine, Dustoff Two.
Dustoff Two, this is Three-Zero. We've got a contact in the area right now. I think you'd better hold while Bushranger Seven-One comes in.
Roger. Three-One, if you can throw smoke.
Smoke thrown. Over.
Roger.
Roger. What colour smoke do you see? Over.
Roger. I've got purple smoke. Over.
That's affirmative. Be my guest.
Dustoff, this is Three Charlie, I'll punch smoke for you now over.
Dustoff Two, Dustoff Two, this is Three Charlie, do you see the smoke for Bushranger? Well, that's us. Can you come in on it? Over.
Charlie from Nine Dustoff Two. Understand I'm to come to your location.
Roger. I'll follow you.
Dustoff, this is Three Charlie. Do you see the smoke I threw for Bushranger? That is where I am with the medivac. Over.
The Stokes litter or the jungle penetrator first?
Charlie, jungle penetrator first. Over.
Charlie, Bushranger Seven-One. Be rolling in in twenty seconds. We're running in from the south west to the north east.
Roger, watch out for our dustoff as you probably know, Out.
Dustoff One, this is Three-Charlie, that man's fairly bad. He's got a hole right into chest above the heart. (sound of firing) We're taking fire -get out, get out, Dustoff!
Dustoff's getting fired at.
Get that chopper out of the way, you're being fired at! Dustoff, piss off!
We're taking tracer pretty heavy from that position, now.
Bushranger Seven-One, can you bring them in? Dustoff was fired at then.
Roger, If Three-One will throw smoke, we'll suppress.
Three-One, we are giving covering fire. Over.
Dustoff, be careful with those guns, we're down here too. Over."
(Sound through open mike of helicopter approaching and sustained rapid machine gun fire).
