We heard from Ted McEvoy who sent us some photos of his time with 35 Sqn in Vung Tau in 1966. It was a while ago, and Ted can’t remember all the names, can any-one help fill in the blanks. Names run left to right.

Barry Dean, (sumpie), don’t know, Ted McEvoy (rad), Terry Collier (sumpie) and Les Addison (rad) down in front.

Standing:- Dick Salter (Sumpie), Des Pryce, Barry Dean (sumpie), Laurie Phibbs (rad), Wayne Oldfield (elec), Mick Jasny (inst) Ted McEvoy (rad) don’t know, Shakey Addison (rad), Brian “Masta” Bates (elec). Kneeling:-Bob “Camel” Humphrey (sumpie) and (is it??) the “Flange” (framie)

Jet Adams, OC RAAF Vung Tau at the time, going through the Airman’s barby rations... “Bloody hell look at this-these damn erks get fed better than us Sirs….” while Camel looks on, thinking, “I must go through that bugger’s pockets before he leaves here” ..

Don’t know (framie??), Brian “Masta” Bates (elec), Les “Shakey” Addison (rad), and Wayne “Ollie” Oldfield (elec).

The RAAF’s living compound in Vung Tau, with the Ettamogah club on the right, and below-sometimes it rained and rained and rained .....

God, grant me ...

The senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do,
And the eyesight to tell the difference.
