Amberley.
Two ladies, Laraine Nelson and Joanne McAuley (contact details below) are Cultural Heritage Consultant of RPS Australia Asia Pacific. They have been project tasked by the Aust. Defence Force to write a book to record the history of RAAF Base Amberley.
It is hoped that Members of the Radschool Association can give these ladies assistance in compiling the book. There must be a horde of memories and knowledge and photos of RAAF Amberley over the years.
What I would like to ask is if you could assist these ladies though the Radschool network with any history snippets which would benefit their project, in particular need is personal knowledge and photos including those of the base buildings and structures over the passing years, 1940 to 2016.
In general, any assistance that anyone can provide these ladies on RAAF Base Amberley history would be much appreciated.

I hate sex in the movies. Tried it once. The seat folded up, the drink spilled and that ice, well, it really chilled the mood.

The Untold Stories of the RAAF's Caribou.
We have 10 professionally made copies of the DVD "The Untold Stories of the RAAF's Caribou" which you can buy for $20 delivered to your letter box. For 45 years the Caribou was the workhorse of the RAAF. Starting its service in Vietnam, this small fleet of just 29 aircraft punched well above their weight, both at home and abroad.
Be it the dangers of war, floods and/or fire, or the difficulty of search and rescue, the Caribou and their crews played a vital role in Australia's history. This headline making aircraft has earned its place in history as the only Australian military aircraft to ever be high-jacked.
Affectionately known as Wallaby Airlines, the Bou and the Green Gravel Truck, the Caribou has been a quiet achiever, until now. At last this amazing story, spanning 5 decades, is told by those who witnessed history.
In this documentary, whose who knew her well tell their personal and remarkable stories about their time with one of the RAAF's most beloved aircraft.
If you would like a copy of this DVD, please fill in the form below, deposit $20 into the account below and we'll send you one.
We now have 3 left.

Tour of France.
Phil Brookes writes, he says, could you insert our flyer for our 2018 Anzac tour in your newsletter, I’ve also attached an article on our 2015 France trip. By the way, I’m still enjoying reading your newsletters and as an old Bones Day participant, it’s always good to catch up on what our RAAF cousins have been up to.
Our group tours comprise mostly Vietnam veterans and I’ve been organising and leading quality tours since 2009 to Vietnam, China, Cambodia and France. For the 2018 France tour, our agent has donated international airfares for two year 12 students from the Murray Bridge High School (South Australia) as part of an Anzac Scholarship program and the Murray Bridge RSL is donating $2,000 toward the trip together with corporate sponsorship.
It will be an exciting tour for the students.
You can see the flyer HERE and the story on the 2015 France trip HERE. |
