My Dad was a framie at Pt Cook through the 70's and can well remember both the Pt Cook and Laverton air shows.
My best memories as a kid were Saturday mornings at Laverton when the transports would roll in. To keep me out of trouble I spent countless hours inside the many neptunes on the ramp that were awaiting disposal.
As a 5 or 6 year old I flew countless imaginary missions in those Neppies....... certainly sowed the seeds for the career I now enjoy.
