Mick, just wondering if you have to do any of that mandatory training regarding security like the Army does? Better add that I am just being a smart ass because I think the photo is awesome!


Do you mean like Ninja training, stealth with a dagger? Instant death to all who cross me?
Well no. But I am handy with a doughnut and a coffee percolator. I can whip a brew in under 30 seconds, and I always know where the nearest biscuit tin is.

Any military buffs on here know what the missile is?


Its a Bloodhound Surface to air battery right? BTW its a pretty ancient missile, but if its still in use by the RAF wont you get into trouble for photographing it and posting the pics?

Nah it hasn't been in use for many years, they're now Gate Guardians at many bases like Point Cook and RAAF Darwin. Museaum pieces. They're still pretty awesome to look at.
