Wow, great memories Carl.  For me in particular Gerhard and Connie Van Wyk.  Their son Ian was my best mate in OPS, we were same standard.  They lived in E2/11.  Have had contact with their daughter Theresa recently.  Thanx Carl, I had no pictures of them and this really brings back memories of the faces I havn't seen for about 30 years!  woo_hoo

After looking at pic 3 now I remember who you are. Didn't know you personally but knew of you probably from my post office days.  Did you not collect your post at the counter?

Carl, I was at No 1 plant at the time of the 769 in the bin and took lots of photos.  Some appear on the photographs section.  Are you in the photo ??
