Calling all ex FSO's

[Flashgit]

Just wondered if anyone knows where the FSO's that were working in the Perth centre in the 80's 90's are now. Anybody out there?

[Nacowlah]

Wouldn't mind catching up with Peter Weare and Debra Cumming if anyone knows their whereabouts. ex FSO course 70 1989

I worked in Perth FSC from 84 to 86 A/grade 2. Lots of good people were there. Also have a few contacts with others.

Hey Guys,

three of us ol' PH FSOs now at Argyle.

Pete Cunnington
Reg Vagg
Marc Gatland (yours truly)

As for Peter Weare, he stayed until the end and was offered some kind of Ground Job with an operator in Perth - whether he took it up I'm not sure.....

I last saw Deb Cumming in the Sunday Times running the Olympic Torch Relay in WA, so she is still here....

I know of a few still around, so let me know if there are others......

Hey Gunna!!! What on earth are you guys doing in Argyle??

Damien Snape in Brzzy ATC last heard..
Never worked in Perth FSU (and I do mean "U")but not for lack of trying...only managed DB and PH as an ATC....ahh Derby...every road out of that joint was a good road...

quack....

[SOPS]

Any FSU in WA, was the best. The guys and girls that worked them, were the best. I really feel sorry for the "new generation" of pilots who have never canceled SAR with Meeka on 6565, while sitting in KUN. They were great times, with great people. Good luck to you all

[skullee]

Boy this is bringing them out of the woodwork. Gidday Gunna and ' the Voice'. Where have you been? I worked BN FS, MA FSU, ATC BN and PH. FSO Course 69. I believe some of these guys were PH FS,

Chris Bren-Clarke now in ML ATC
Colleen ????? now in BN ATC
Dave Rafferty is, I believe ex FSO, (I could be wrong) and he is in Broome running the Unicom frequency. Now there is a lifestyle!!!

Cheers
