Memory Lane


"Remember the days in the old school yard.. "

We had fun didn't we? Outside of school and apart from the regular swim-meets, training, routine sports activities and guide and scouting activities, we did have all the time in the world to simply play. Here's a snapshot of those great days!

You are invited to send in your photos of the fun days - outside of school.

The two photographs above are of RAAF Charter Hostesses. The Charter teams would meet the charter planes and assist the wives and families to settle into their homes, helping to orientate them by taking them to different places. This would help them conduct their affairs such as organising passes, identification cards, etc. These teams assisted the wives as the base assisted the men.
