Back in the Vietnam days, the RAAF used the River on our farm as target practice, low level, Canberras, day after day, for weeks.
Dropped canisters in the river too. House was about 25feet from the river. Then one day, a couple of buggers come down low in a couple of Mirages, went quick, broke the barrier and blow all the windows on one side of the house. The old man went berserk on the phone. Couple of weeks later a couple of truck loads of sheepish Raafies turned up and did a whole lot of glazing.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |
