I dunno how you keep up with all this, Willy - but your efforts are genuinely appreciated, keeping others like myself in touch with the outside world...

 

Just outside Mallala township to the north of Adelaide - we not infrequently go there in order to either spectate or act as volunteers at motor sport events at what used to be the RAAF establishment there - is a beautifully maintained war graves cemetery which ever so poignantly has graves in it of those who never made it past their training for WW2 ... they didn't even get a chance to fire a single shot in defence of our homeland. So many sacrifices - even before departing one's home soil.

 

 

[willedoo]

I've only been to two war cemeteries, at Kanchanaburi and Cowra, but I know what you mean, Geoff; it's a humbling experience. The Australian section at Cowra is the resting place for quite a few who lost their lives at the training camp on the Sydney Road side of Cowra. Some from illness and some from accidents fom what I can gather. It's very sad, I hope we never forget what they did.

 

Cheers, Willie.

A WHAT ???

Thought it sounded a bit suspect, although nothing would surprise in that part of the world.

 

Here's a more logical report calling it a T-67 Firefly.

 

Did some checking & Jordan still uses T-67's so that would have to be it.
