Re: Nave Andromeda
Was trying to find out without anyone noticing my ignorance if the RAAF had a regiment or not. Know the RAF did . As was a member of the ATC the same as the Army and Navy cadets . I was a very national minded youth at one time and liked to share by love of country out to all services. Then Runcimans then said Ok Ok we"ll take him and keep him out of your hair. You heard that one about the Drill Sergeant who said to these recruits , Demonstrating and pointing, this is your rifle, and this is your gun, ones for shooting the others for fun. He was right and it was good advice , I always preferred a gun. JS.
