Tim00;
I have scanned all the photos and most of the booklets and they are ready on Flickr for sharing once my post count reaches the magic number that will allow me to add the links to a post on here.
I'm with you Tim00, never been in the military, just interested, and telling my dad's story such as it is. I'm hoping that the documents I have to share will be of interest and broaden the understanding of life on a training station.
Oudtshoorn was a huge place set up for training, so there were sections for bomb aiming, wireless operators, photographic and navigation all backed up by a large base contingent of HQ, HQ Signals, Sick Quarters, Dental Section, Pilots, Equipment Section, Fire Section, Maintenance Wing, Communications Flight, MT Section, Armory, Native Military Corps, Canteen Staff, Safety Equipment Section, Technical Reference Library, Service Police, Cooks and Caterers, Meteorological Section, Pigeon Section and a SAWAS Canteen committee.
Best wishes
Jeremy
