It is wonderful to think you all live in a country that accepts people debating for three pages on a topic that very few of them have any idea about. AUSTRALIA is truely wonderful.
Good Luck to all members of the ADF and their families at home. Be proud of your endevours, as the whole country's thoughts and best wishes are with you.
WILEY, I can inform you that the crews of the B707's which deployed to the Middle East during the Gulf War conflicts received their Australian Service Medal for bravery. Would you fly in an aircraft that should have been grounded at least ten years ago. It is a credit to the squadron that they have kept them flying and may once again see service in an overseas conflict.
