Relocation to Gloucester, NSW in 2010.

Dave - thanks for your comments from so far away. How did you track down so many trucks in the Coffs area in so short a time? did you make it to the BIG BANANA?

Keith - did you REALLY, REALY fly over the Hunter in that fine aircraft.

Hang on !!!!!! Are you both WW2 veterans reminiscing? I know there were lots of Yanks "over here, over paid", and over ...... ???????" (damn, I forgot the rest!)

The plane says MHOR (Me Hunting Old (W)Recks".

Dennis - yep 60 years in Sydney is enough. Why did we pick Gloucester ? No @#$%^& Woolworths!!!!!!!!!.

Driving past a sawmill on the Bucketts's Way south of Gloucester a few months ago I saw what appeared to be a Studebaker US6 fire tanker in its front yard. Must sniff it out next time.

Dave again. Yes, it was wet last year; seems there are never drought conditions in the Gloucester area, but lots of water closer to the coast and up to Coffs Harbour. Did you get caught in the floods?

Pererinair67. Will certainly takke up your offer to visit, but will I need a passport? Hong Kong via Taree. Is that a property name or a locality. Do I take a cut lunch or a set of chopsticks when I visit ?? Are there any Studebaker or Blitz projects up your way that I could get hold of next year?

Thanks

Bruce

Yes, but I was in a Cessna taking the picture Much of my luggage was in the gun bays in the wings though - what lucky undies and toothpaste, eh!

MH-R sounds good - very creative.

MH is the code for 83 Squadron RAAF and R is the individual aircraft code.
