........ Out of curiosity, what object have you been using for your piers?

Sea Floor?(sp?), bloody things. Would be real nice to have long draw distance versions of these and some other things . Always annoys me seeing those pop-up.

Thanx for the kind words all

Cheers, Neil

As I am ex 75SQN I cant wait to fly the top end, I spent (and drank :lol: ) a lot of very good years in the top end, very fond memories for me.

Off topic but back in the late eighties in one of the WWII era troop huts you could still see the damage in the rafters from Jap strafing

75 squadron...those beautiful Mirages

Neil i have been mucking around trying to fashion the main bunker but i really lack a correct top for it,it is probably a bit too large overall but the top is the killer.Might give you a few ideas anyway mate

[Neil Lowe]

Thx Ajay,

Gives me a good idea of what's needed

Cheers, Neil

That fighter map has an intersting tidbit. Tindal is spelt with TWO L's. It is now and has been for thirty years spelt with 1 L. For those who dont know, Tindal (then "under construction") is now Australia's premiere fighter base, home of 75SQN, and was named after the first RAAF officer killed in Darwin. The airmans club at Tindal is called the Latham Club, named after the first RAAF airman killed in Darwin. I met the parents of LAC Latham who came up to Tindal from Gipsland in Victoria for the official reopening of Tindal, I think it was 1988.

Nice bit of info ElecFitter

Hey, that reminds me of the concrete constructions of the "early audio warning systems" somewhere along the British coast. (Was featured on a BBC programme)

Neil, looking great.

I just bought a book from the WA Maritime Musuem entitled "Wrecks in Darwin Waters"

It deals fairly heavily with the locations of ships during the japanese attack and thier subsequent salvage. I just noticed a section detailing a barracks and AAA defences as well as 4" and 9.2" naval guns covering the harbour and the anti submarine boom.

If need be I can scan it into PDF format and mail it to you?

Let me know
