Seasons Greetings 2015

It’s that time of year again team.

Let me take this opportunity to wish all you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

 

For those of you deployed to foreign lands, or working to protect from themselves, please know that you will be in our thoughts.

For the rest of you, stay safe, take it easy and enjoy the time off with loved ones (or ones you’d like to *ahem* love).

 

It’s been a tough year for me professionally, which has severely cut into time I can dedicate towards being a cool-guy on the internet. Hopefully, my luck and fortunes improve somewhat.

Despite everything, it’s still been a good year.

 

Salutations to  you all!

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

We will remember them.”

Our 3rd Anniversary!

Thank you to all, both punters and equipment suppliers for your continued support of this website.

It’s been another big year in the real world, which has slowed down the review process somewhat. I’m hoping to return to an increased activity rate sometime soon in the near future. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

ANZAC Day – 2014

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

 

Lest we forget.

 

It’s been a really good day, on this 99th anniversary of the Landings. Went to the Dawn Service this morning, and caught up with a couple of old mates face to face, as well as speak to more on the phone.
