Thanks for that Junior. I had totally forgotten about Limbo. I think when I was at Whenuapai he was at No. 3 Squadron from memory. I did a short stint at GEF as an intro to parts of the trade as a u/t, and I am sure at that time the GEF paintshop was run by then-Cpl Rich Harding and LAC Gavin Norrington. I spent a week there with Sgt Bill Billings in the fabric section, upstirs at GEF, and also working there were Leon Coy, and one or two ladies but I cannot recall who they were. The more I think about those days the more I realise our trade at Auckland was pretty huge and there were several people I only knew by site or enough to say hello and nothing else. Not like good old Wigram where we were a tight knit group who all knew each other well.

Was astounded to run into him in uniform wandering around Whenuapai one day.
