Today marks the second anniversary of the 2023 MRH90 Taipan accident near Lindeman Island, Queensland.

Captain Danniel Lyon, Lieutenant Maxwell Nugent, Warrant Officer Class Two Joseph ‘Phillip’ Laycock and Corporal Alexander Naggs from the 6th Aviation Regiment were tragically killed in the accident.

We keep Captain Lyon, Lieutenant Nugent, Warrant Officer Class Two Laycock and Corporal Naggs in our thoughts and remember them as dedicated Combat Aviators, who were committed to supporting our soldiers, special forces and the Australian Defence Force.

The 6th Aviation Regiment and participants in Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025 will pause today to remember our fallen aviators. They are dearly missed.

Lest We Forget.
