This is starting to get a little creepy.
Trojan1981, it appears that you and I have also shared some similar tarmac albeit at slightly different times. I was an ex 2FLT cadet (86-90) before becoming a staff member at 18FLT. Your former FLTCDR isn't a cop anymore (I presume you mean PA?). Got out very recently. I was corresponding with him a week ago and we stalk each other on FB. I became FLTCDR/ CO of 2FLT/ 302SQN after him in January 2000.
Matt was between my times of service with 2FLT but I'd known of him via promo courses and the occasional tie up between 2FLT and 18FLT.
Russell, Lindsay is still late '60s I think. He retired from QF aged close to 65 a couple of years ago. I think he'd be 68 at the oldest? Perhaps a year younger or older depending on how strong my recollection is of when he finished up at QF.
