Hi
I spent 2 weeks with 48? Squadron at Willliamtown in1974. They were supposed to be giving me some instruction on the APX72 IFF which I had never seen but was scheduled to install it on HMAS Orion and Otama. After the first day I took over the IFF repairs and did the instruction. I got a personal tour over "Hub cap". I stayed in the senior officers quarters had a great time.
Other service establishments I spent time at, Bulimba Barracks in Brisbane for a week. Hmas Albatross a few two week periods, Manus Island two weeks, Belconnen about 6 weeks. Simpson in Melbourne three weeks. two six week courses at Flinders, Lived in the wardroom. A couple of weekends in Darwin. Submarine escape course at Portsmouth. All as a civvy. I got around a lot of places in 25 years
