Default MRH-90 Tracking Up And Down The Coast

Just saw what looked like a MRH-90 tracking north along the coast at Mona Vale, very low level and contour flying the beaches. Ten minutes later it was tracking south, again contour flying the beaches at around 500ft. Great sound.

Noel, I checked the log yesterday after it flew past to the north and back south again, but could not see any pickup in the log. Checked again this morning just to make sure. Are they all A40 serial numbers ?
