Calling all ex FSO's

[Binoculars]

And the infamous Course 29, whose Sydney transferees changed the face of SY FS forever with T-shirts and long hair pushing white shirts and ties as standard daily attire. Let's see now;

Brain (John Brown), Father (Gordon Gray), Teatowel (Peter Alting), Jock (Jim Campbell), Dozy (Ian Cameron), Harry Bull (Barry Hull) Wrinkles (Peter Brookes), Weasel (Ken Broadbent).... no idea where any of them are now.

Muddy (Warren Bryan - Gold Coast)
Owl (Peter Freeland - Melbourne ATC)
Mr. Cool (Chris Albon - eastern Victoria)
George O'Rilla (Peter Atkins - PNG/YSCB)
Fang (Robin Bridger - Rockhampton)
Fred (Allan Eastoe - Brisbane)
Mother (George Lane - SATC YBAF)
The Mouth (John Crane - Melbourne)
Dog (Doug Evans - Gold Coast)
Jacko (Brian Jackson - Melbourne)
Ferret (Yours truly - Mackay Tower)

and one more I can't think of at the moment.

Any updates?

I met Chris Boycott ex Perth FSO in Dublin a few years ago, I had heard that he was pretty sick. I hope I'm wrong.

Gaunty,

The world was a nice place when the FSO's were around. Might warrant a xmas red to discuss me thinks - industry meeting if you like!!

And who could forget Harold (last light) Jackson...don't know where he is but he wasn't able to make the Flight Service last supper last year because he had been gored by a bull......

Aus ATC,

Gidday Duck long time no hear. Hope your not working too hard over there with all the military movements.

[Flashgit]

[imnomaverick]

So Aus ATC, are you going to come out behind the cloak of secrecy and give me a hint at your identity.

[Aus ATC]

Imnomaverick,

Sorry but I'll stay in hiding for a while yet.

Regards to C also.

I maybe read through this to fast but where is Gary DiPiazza these days? We played inddor cricket together in the ole' Kununurra days. Also good to see Dave Biggs is still in the game. Last I "heard" he was cancelling my SAR in Broome a couple of years back from a consol in Perth. If anyone reading this sits next to "Bin" Lawrence in MEL ATC can you please pass on my e-mail to him as I lost contact with him after he left CNS ATC.
