Sorry mate. Back in those days it was all paper photos.

Had quite a few but a vengeful ex-wife decided the tip needed them, and most of my other mementos I was too slow to grab, more than I did :(

3 Sqn (Fighters also Malaysia)
36 Sqn (C130's)
TAAMS (Darwin)
Had a few overseas detachments to New Zealand and P.N.G. and a heap of short term stuff around Oz with the C130's to places like Townsville, Brissy, Adelaide, Tassy and some out of the way spots in W.A. and the East States outback when we used the Military a lot more than we do today to do 'National Assistance' tasking for flood and drought relief etc. Fodder drops were a bitch on the aircraft but the locals made sure you couldn't buy a beer at the local pub unless they bought you ten first.

2AD aside I loved almost every minute (sober or otherwise) and would do it all over again in a heartbeat... 'cept I'd drop something on those rrsehole pollies in Canberra who totally screw over the Defence Pensioners. Sorry, didn't mena to wax political but jeez they give me the shytes

You had almost the same postings as I did. As an MTFITT I was lucky not to go to 2AD so I missed out on the factory but they got me to Support Command twice.
481 Sqn Newcastle (twice)
478 Sqn Malaysia
1FTS Point Cook
3CRU Newcastle
HQSCU Melbourne (twice)
1ad Laverton

You blokes are lucky first posting 1sd, second base Sqn Tottenham , one side of the fence to the other :( that was it for me!
