Korean Unit Citation ribbon.
Justice Michael PEMBROKE will give a presentation on the situation on the
Korean Peninsula following his recent travel from the Yalu river in the north to
the DMZ in the south. His interest on the Peninsula arose from his father
being a company commander in the Korean war, and his address is centred around
the current ramifications of that conflict both before and right up to the
present time.

On Saturday 10th July 2010, the Association returned to Richmond RAAF Base for the 70th Anniversary of the Squadron "marching out" to War on the 15th of July 1940. We were honoured to have four of "The Originals" in attendance.

Anzac Day 2010
Anzac Day 2010 went very well in Sydney and the RAAF Official Photographer captured a nice image of 3SQN CO Terry van Haren with the WW2 veterans present on the day. It was especially gratifying that our President Peter Cuthbert (2nd from left) could be there despite his recent illness. [Pete told us that he's recently received a disturbing note in his mailbox saying, "If you don't stop making love to my wife, I will KILL you!" - But the note was unsigned, so Pete has no way of knowing which husband wrote it!]
