The picture at top right above was taken in Vung Tau in 1968, and looks like it was taken in the radio section in the 35Sqn hanger.
You can see his figmo on the wall behind.
From the look of it he only had about 50 days left in country when the photo was taken as there aren’t many squares left to fill in (They must have changed them - the next batch of Figmo’s were much more interesting - tb)
The bloke at the lower right is Les (Shakey) Addison.
Photo at top left shows Ted in full flight at Romany’s restaurant in Perth after the 2001 Anzac Day march.
How many times have you seen a memorial in a park depicted by a bloke on a horse. Heaps of times I bet, but did you know that:-
- If the horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle.
- If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle.
- If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

"In my early days at Frognal (era 1964) I was working on a teleprinter that had developed an intermittent fault and being new to the game I wanted some help to fix the brute. What followed went something like this"
Me (young and innocent, just out of RADSCL) "Scuse me Corp's this here machine has developed an intermittent fault." Him (old and grizzled tech with lots of experience). "Ha give me a look lad, these intermittent faults are damn hard to find."
Me (now spellbound and waiting for a lesson from the master) "Wots the best way to fault find these things Corp's"
Him - (Raising the machine to a height of 4 ft off the floor and dropping it) "There you go, that’ll fix the bastard"
And I had to agree the intermittent fault had disappeared, and I had gained another theoretical tool to put in the toolbox of life.
