Clearly irony and sarcasm are totally lost on you Steve. It's embarrassing to have to explain it to you, but the Elaine I speak of with such love and affection is actually a man! Call me a mysoginyst if you must, but it is how I see things. Your reality must be very different.

Our dearly departed brother Arty Van Rensbeurg. Moved to Aus in the late 80's. Resigned from South African in true fashion walking in to his Supervisors office, placing his resignation letter on the table and landing a right hook between the Supervisors eyes knocking him out cold.

Another fine LAME who is watching from above, Robert Stolk who started his apprenticeship the same day I did on 29th Jan 1986 (not a good day for space travel).


I think Johnny Hall the toolcrib Operator has also moved on, maybe someone could confirm. I haven't seen him walking the streets of Easy Keilor for many years.

Mullet is gone but I hear Tom is still wearing the shorts around the house.

Pleased to have passed the 800 response mark. Keep em coming all.

Steve, I have a few good photos that you lot could use, however I think the prizes are pretty average.....

I think they are better than nothing -




The prizes for each category are:


1st Prize - $100 Bunnings Voucher
2nd Prize - $50 Bunnings Voucher
3rd Prize - $30 I-Tunes Voucher


There are 3 categories. Not bad if you just have some photos sitting on a computer. More importantly they can be used by the ALAEA to create professional presentations to promote our work. Sorry Pilots the actual competition is just for members.


Two years ago I was sent some fabulous photos by a Captain that were used in the 2012 booklet. If any non members feel inclined to assist by building up our bank of useable pics feel free to email me - [email protected]

Yep Tommy is still Tommy !!

Responses now approaching 1200 guys so please keep them coming. I will post some more pics soon.
