Hello all,

I have had contact from the Manager of Fighter World (Jon), and he and the team are putting together a display around A3-3.

They are asking if any one has photos from the ceremony where the Deltas Pilots signed the Fuel Tank on A3-3 at fighter world several years ago.

If you, or someone you know, can help Jon and the team please email…

Looking forward to “Finally” getting to a reunion and catching up with mates of long ago, many of whom I have had contact with due to my two books.

It will be nice to share a beer or two with them.

For all the Apprentices out there, attached is a copy of the book “From the Ground Up”.
It is the history of RAAF Apprentices from the start (1950) to finish (1988).
It is a PDF copy and is a bit ruff but readable.
All Intakes and Apprentices are listed at the back of the book.

G’day,

Many of you have requested access to the video I have frequently played at the reunion.

That video runs for over 4 hours, so it is too big for the average user to download.

So, for those of you that really want to be able to view/play the video, I have now uploaded it to the TAMM site, and its available to any member.

You can view the video…
