All the best for the future Bryce Tony it shore changes a house when one moves out. Time together in the future is special and you notice the growing they have done more when you only see them every few months.

Thank you for the kind words, Gentlemen.

I will pass them on to Bryce, when he comes home for Christmas.

He phoned from Sydney at around 2030hrs last night. The recruits are in a hotel there overnight, before the drive to Kapooka today. The Army has already started feeding them an unbelievable amount of food. We all know why that is, dont we! Wish his Granddad was alive to see Bryce follow in his footsteps. He would have been so proud.

Apparently the flight down was good, but the landing in SYD was a bad one. Bryce told us the landing was so hard the aircraft actually bounced off the tarmac and down again.

He has never liked being in large aircraft. Light aircraft, diffrent story, especially since we took him on a flight when he was about 10, where the pilot allowed him to have the controls for a little while. He thought that made him a pilot.

Tony,

I can see why you are proud of your son, and rightly so

But why combine this with your rebuild thread instead of starting a new one? I'm asking as a moderator as for us it is quite a job to keep threads aligned and in the right sub-forums. We spend much of our spare time keeping the information as much as accessible as possible, and by bundling wildly varying subjects in one single thread, it makes it a nightmare finding back very useful information. Sharing information in an easily retrievable format is the prime goal of MLU.

Puzzled,
Hanno

Hi Tony

Nothing like the beaming smile on a proud fathers face, it will never go away. Please pass on my congratulations to Bryce, I know he will do his family proud and he has chosen a good career path. I spent 10 of my best years in the army and can highly recommend the service.

Cheers

Tony

Thank you Tony V.

Hanno, yes this is a resto thread, but it is also a timeline of the events which impact on that resto, as well as the mechanics of the job. Tell ya what though, I promise as of now I will make it REALLY easy to follow from now on.

To all those who have offered kind thoughts, my most heartfelt thanks.

Bye one and all!

I am truly amazed!

You do a brilliant job of raising your Son, lend him to Her Majesty's Services for a number of years and in return you get a skilled assistant who comes home on leave and can give you a hand with your restoration projects down the road. Not to mention the immediate gain in wiggle room around the house, plus the fact you will very possibly have a paid for Recce Team wandering about the far reaches of the land spotting even more MV's and related bits and bobs for you to put back together. You are going to need a bigger shed! Maybe two sheds??? One for your projects and one for Bryce to fill.

Great Son! Great restoration project! As I said, you are brilliant!

Now, get back to work!

Cheers to all your family,


David

Seems like Tony has shut down for a while.
If there is anybody in direct contact with him can they pass on the message that there are quite a few of us miss his contribution here and hope that his story continues to be told.
