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 B) |

I think that the dog was nicknamed "Gremlin"!
