We weren't allowed to take any photos when I was in the RAAF back in 1975

You still can't take photo's on a RAAF base. My mustering was Photographer, these photos were part of my job

That pic is A21-57, the last Hornet made! Knew it well.

there is a saying "six degrees of seperation"

hey iceman, it wasn't all what is was made out to be!

I was once asked "what do you do in the RAAF"? My answer, "22 years of undetected crime"

I am getting a bit nostalgic now for my old air force days. here's a few things I had published. The first image was published in a welcome to RAAF Base Williamtown glossy booklet. The second was in Australian Photography August 1993. The third is a PR shot of yours truly when I had hair

Nice shots Micko, the ultimate toy. I wanted to join the RAAF as kid but my parents talked me out of it.

That's funny Phil. My parents talked me INTO it.

Dad was a Warrant Officer at the time.

My old man suggested I join the RAAF as well, but he never served.
