    Default Who else has been to Rad School

    After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing with Cliff Rogers we discovered that quite a few have been through Rad School at some time.
    Rad School is (was?) the RAAF institution in beautiful sunny Laverton that trained all the electronic techs.
    Care to add your name to the list, I went through in 1967.
    Next.
    Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

    Iain, one of my brothers went to Laverton in about 1978-9. He left the outfit only a few years ago after spending half his career in Butterworth.

    Nah, but we used to go to the RAAF TAFE in Wagga to smash them in Rugby Union

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    My old man did his nasho there, back in the fifties
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
