    Yes - would be interesting to see

    My best friend started his Naval career on the HMAS Hobart and was with her till the end ... Did 3 other ships after the Hobart but can't remember which ones they were.

    I was in the Navy from 1976 - 1984.

    Served on warships 'Vampire' (Sydney based - and now in the museum), and the WA - HMAS Stirling based ships - Attack Class Patrol Boats Acute and Barricade (reservist), and survey ship, Moresby.

    Shore establishments were Kuttabul and Albatross (Naval Air Station at Nowra) x 2. I loved Albatross that much, I went back for a second posting. Hung around a group of motorcycling 'birdies'. I had a ball there.

    Most were okay to deal with, we had a few incidents with the militias but nothing we couldn't handle. Our exposure was limited as we spent most of our time doing OPs and recces along the border.

    G''day folks!

    Once again we have lost another brave and courageous warrior!

    Corporal Scott Smith was the 39th Australian soldier to be killed in Afghanistan. To the Smith family my family and I send our sincere condolences.

    "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them."

    Regards,

    Paul (RLI)
