I arrived at Amberly Airbase in Jan'73 when they first arrived in Australia... 6 arrived first with a lot of pomp and flare ....I was posted to 82Wing Bomber Command, which was disbanded and broken into 2 x Squadrons ...No 1 Squadron and No 6 Squadron.

I went with No 1 Squadron ( as ground support crew ) to Hickham Airbase on the Hawaiian Island in 75', for 3 weeks ( Rimpac'75 War games with the Yanks ). Stopped at Guam Island ( B52 Aircraft Base ) for refueling on the way over.

Best Fighter / Bomber Aircraft IMHO .... !!
