Well...Well.....N0 3 Aircraft Depot ..... Yes .... In my time... that was the Engine Build Up section for various components ... etc.
I still have my Squadron Badge and original F111C Shoulder Patch which was made in 1974.
Do you remember Air Marshall Ray Funnel....he was chief of the Airforce during the 90's.....Well, when I was at Amberley in the 70's he was only a Wing Commander and was CO of No 6 Squadron....flying F111's.
Nice to hear from another former Raaf'y......
