about 18 months in the territorials, as a medic ... 3 Med Bn based at Addington, woo... a long time ago, no barracks there now. Used to have the piss taken out of us when on parade by the immates next door (addington prison) looking out their windows at us.
Went to Golden fleece (no1) ...now that was a buzz! choppers overhead, being a medic we are based mostly at the hospital, with some detail out occassionally, just imagine M*A*S*H and you have an idea.
left to do my big OE, but it is a time of my life that I will remember for a long time, fkn awesome!

Golden Fleece No.1!! What a laugh that was!! Tekapo, Colgate, and Wingate raids. Came back from that as a father (so I found out later - oops!!)

Anybody know a bloke by the name of Rodney Buckingham who was in the RNZAF (avionics, I think) and where he is now?

He rode an XL250 that spent more time at the shop than under his arse, but when it was working, we were ripping around all the construction sites in Albany before they became shopping centres.

I'd met her before I went away on exercise, knew her for about 3 months-ish. We met up at my sister's march out at Woodbourne. I sat down for awile after she told me - I needed to!!
Still, I wouldn't give them back for nothing.

Not me, but since moving into my Grandmother's house, I have found all my Grandfather's old war photos. He was RAAF 3 Sqdn and served from 1939-1945. Also have his flight log books and medals, Pacific Star, Africa Star and others. So fascinating to see the old pics and read his missions. He died in 88. Here are just a few if anyone's interested.

Choice, mate!
