G'day all, greeting from South Australia.
Whilst searching for some info, I came across this site and decided to pop in and introduce myself. Originally from the UK were I served 15 years in the RAF and the rest of my working life in Quality Assurance. Been in Oz for 35 years now and loving it. The time served comprised 1 yr on Blackburn Beverley's at Abingdon (now closed) and then worked on E.E. Lightning's with 19 Sqdn at Leconfield, 74 Sqdn at Leuchas and 23 Sqdn at Coltishall. I was demobbed just as the first Jaguar planes arrived at Colt.
Sorry I don't have any photos of my time in the RAF as my first wife burnt the lot when we separated. Oh, tell a lie. Just remembered I have a couple but not real good. A B.o.B. day at Colt where I had the privilege off marshalling the Spitfires back in after a display.
Took up flying at 64 and, although I can't afford to fly often, I enjoy the freedom of the air as and when I can. Photo posted elsewhere.
Looking forward to a chat some time.
Cheers.
