I was there, but that was not me on the news. I was the main person firing the gun at 11am, 1pm and 3pm, but when the news people came I was having a break. I will be in the paper tomorrow ( I think).

I met a fellow Aulorian who is also on REMLR forum. He owns a S3 Landrover and his forum name is Workshop. He came up to me and asked if I was Ausfree and I said I was so we had a great old chat.

Also met a fellow 113 Battery member who was on the same gun crew as me. Haven't seen him in 45 years and it was like talking to an old mate, rather than someone I hadn't seen in a long time.

Except for the bloody wind, it was a great day. I was on the news the other night, I will see if I can find the clip.

Here it is, I put it on Aulro last week, that's me firing the gun. Still a lot of work to do on the gun, next we have to wash it down and repaint it. Also move the gas bottles to a place where they are less obvious.

Restoring a Bofor

Well, I have my six seconds of fame, here is the local paper article on the Bofor gun.

Fort

Do your bosses at the bus depot realise that you're a gun operator, Jim?

Ha, ha, I keep trying to tell them that Ian. Modest fellow that I am.

Long time no chat.
Well I have some exciting news.
I have a job for next year.
This term I have been doing P.E. K-6 as well as random classes for short amount of time. (similar to casual teaching).
However next year I have my own class. I am the year 1 teacher for the school I am currently teaching at.
It is a very exciting time and I am super pumped.
I already know most of the students I will have. There are some students that will test me and there are some that are super cool. I cant wait to start next year.
It is fair to say that Christmas has come early for me
Hope all is well with our fellow members
