aahh... tinny club Port Hedland, late 80's, friday night, emu bitter.... there was a copper moonlighting as a flying instructor, owned a cessna, would check on RBT patrol location so we could go home (party on!) 'safely' in convoy (or to the Nard!)
those were the days, my friend...
went through there a year or so ago: missus wanted to stay, nostalgia attack: lunch at the Nard soon cured that!!
on to a quiet camp at Milstream
latest within Lipservices: tower job apps for BME & KTA closed last week: around 20 applied for 3 BME positions, less for KTA. (all those young folk wanting to get off sectors, i suppose)
start date is supposedly 18 Nov 2010
Training to be done in ML, with rating check in twr simulator - WTF?
Initial BME control will be from CAGRO facility, KTA TWR may be ready in time.
BME TWR not yet passed design stage, no construction tenders pending - mooted to be first glass tower: I.E: all virtual & screen based with no paper strips.. that's some tech investment for a remote area.
don't expect miracles.... after all this is Lipservices, how may i help you?
