Slipstream is the quarterly magazine of the Fleet Air Arm Association of Australia.

The Slipstream Archive Library is now complete. It contains past copies of all available published magazines in .pdf format, except for the four most recent (which are stored behind the Firewall in our “Members Only” section). Magazines in the archive are available to read on your screen or download for later perusal should you wish.

These magazines present a fascinating series of snapshots of the RAN Fleet Air Arm since 1957 and are provided for the enjoyment of any person who has an interest in them.

Slipstreams were produced in two main ‘batches’. The early batch commenced in the 1950s and ran through to September 1963, when production was terminated. The modern ones commenced with Vol 1-1 in January 1990 and continue to this day.

Magazines in the library are displayed in their date order, with the earliest at the lower end of the archive and the most recent at the top.
