Albatross - 817 squadron
Hello Les, Don't know if I fit the bill but I was posted to Albatross from Cerberus on the 1st Dec 1962 and moved between there and 817 squadron until 16th Nov 1964 when I went to Nirimba for 4 B**** years. Can still remember the beach parties and using someones wooden leg when we ran out of kindling for the fire, mind you "It wasn't me" or firing up the old oil ranges from WW2 and blowing the plates off the top. I also remember the night before we were going onto the Melbourne when she hit the Voyager. All hell broke loose that night. If anyone has any more memories or better still photos I would be glad to get hold of some for my next DVD. i'll come back and check this site again or if you want my email address is: modmic@bigpond.net.au

Bomber, They were still talking about the Wooden leg on the fire incident when I was at the 'Tross. Was'nt the owner of the leg from the Wreck Bay settlement and the beach party (Banyan) at Greenpatch Beach in JB near Creswell?. (I used to live at nearby Hyams Beach). I heard that she was'nt discouraged and showed up at the next Banyan with an Aluminium Leg. :grin:
