Hey Goudie, My Dad was also seconded to the RMAF. I watched it all in PJ Jalan 11/14. probably not old enough to be allowed a whole tin of Tiger. That one event did have quite an impact on my life. Coff will tell you how emotional I get about space travel. I told my own kids that one day I will take them there [pointing to the moon] which I regularly observe through the telescope or binoculars. Unfortunately I now feel I let them down.
Its great to see the artefacts at the Smithsonian. I was disappointed last week at our Science Museum that the Lander was not real but one of the capsules was. I must have dreamed about having touched a piece of rock from the moon as the bit at Kensington is in a glass case filled with some inert gas.
