| Okay, We can take any articles for the Winter Edition now, so if you like to assist and add your article, you would be most welcomed. Would also welcome a serial number of the C-17A that landed in Darwin dated 10-11/05/2012. Saw it come in, but couldn't read the serial. Best Gordy  |

Just let me know which of your private address you want to associate to your adf/nzdf accounts. Thanks Martin & Phantom for the details on our broken Battle. Cheers BC |
