Greetings from Queensland, Australia

I have been on this website for years, and finally decided to sign up.

I have always had an interest in WW2 aircraft, growing up on the wheatfileds of Saskatchewan in Canada, near the former Commonwealth Air training Centre of Dafoe, which even today still has the runways, taxiways, range backstop, one hangar, and a few misc buildings still standing.

This interest me to an excellent career in Defence, specialising in armament maintenance (EME and RAEME), although I ended up in the Army, not in the Air Force, ha!

There is plenty of military history locally here in Queensland, even on the island I live on. I had spent time in the NT (Northern territory), at Darwin, and south of Darwin, where the Battle for Australia was fought against the Japanese. The airfields which supported both US and RAAF aircraft exist there still, some along the Stuart Highway.

Anyways, I look forward to contributing on here when I can.

Kind regards,

Wes
