(With thanks to Graham ‘Scoops’ Cooper and Anne Hamden (Kane) who kindly provided Sandy McNab with copies of their photo’s taken at the reunion.)
An early start. Tony Horton arriving for the Fremantle dawn service.
Joan, Gavin and Pat consulting before bussing to Perth for the march and luncheon.
The old meets the new. Arthur 'Tugboat' Shiplee (1938-55) and maybe Len Boylson (1942-46) seen mingling with some of the new breed before the march.
Awaiting the 'fall in' call from the parade marshall. In conversation is WO Ted Cummins, WO(N) Michael O'Connell, Bob Trotter and Gavin Ryan with Jim Quick assisting Patricia.
A proud day for the RANCB contingent. About 320 white-hatted Communicators marching down William St 'in line and in step' and onto the Perth Esplanade to take the Governors salute with RADM Tony Horton, Patron CDRE Bob Trotter and President Ron Tuckwell to the fore. Norma Dix and Patricia Quick are on the forward halyards, Gavin Ryan and 'Dusty' Miller on the rears. Bill Blinkhorn and Barry 'Bones' Lehmann are the banner bearers. BZ all.
