Where it started, long, long ago |
This picture was taken in 1962 when, at 19, yours truly was an eager young apprentice in the Royal Rhodesian Air Force. I retired eighteen years later at the dizzy rank of Warrant Officer, with a small pension and a medal for long service and undetected laziness and having had the finest training available anywhere in the world. I am intensely proud of my military service and of the role we played. I had the honour to serve with, and under, some of the most professional people imaginable and the life lessons learned has stood me in good stead. |
No 11 Course - a top bunch of appies! |
A fine bunch of men! (Boys?) |
Four Squadron - and the mighy Trojan! |
We worked hard, we played hard. |
We had Lion Red too! (and real lions) |
My Trog, Dela's beer, Rob's camera, I think. |
Two Squadron, SAAF, cica 1974 |
From the ridiculous to the sublime... From the Trojan to the Mirage IIICZ ... From 110 knots to Mach 2.2! |
