Reunion for RAAF Comms

 Brisbane 30 May 2015.

An annual reunion and “get together”was held on Saturday afternoon, the 30th May 2015.

The Association is a group of past Air Force personnel engaged in the Communications Mustering.

There was a marvellous roll up, with 132 revellers arriving from as far away as Perth WA, Townsville Qld and Burnie in Tas, to get together, meet old mates, and tell lots of tall tales,

Dave and Swampy (Ken Marsh)

L-R Dave, Jeff Wessels, Des Williams and Bull Donald

Dave had a 9 year stint in the service so developed relatively few friendships as opposed to the members who spent 20 years+.  However beforehand some mates he knew were going to be present so he attended specially for that reason.

 Most of his dear friends Glen and Bill are no longer alive so he doesn't usually make a big effort to get to the annual reunions.  He did so this year as Jeff Wessels and Hinchy were going to be there.  Hinchy disappeared round photo time.
