HI my name is Chris Lyon and i served as an ADG. I graduated training with 3/95 ADG Basic Course. I worked with the first group of troops through 3AFDS at it's formation. i would like to be included on your email list and will try to get you a copy of the basic course photo I have, even though it is incomplete.
I also have some good happy snaps of 3AFDS at Woomera back when we lived in the detention centre.

i would also like any info you could give me about what goes on around the place for ADGies. I fell fairly isolated out in Werris Creek as there are none of the guys i went through with south of Brizzie or north of Sydney.

P.S. how can i get a new beret, mine is rapidly shrinking in the high temps and humidity here?
Love the site, keep it up!

Regards
Chris.

Hi Pom, That refuelling shot is none of the above mentioned places. It looks like one of the Yank bases probably Blackhorse or Bearcat.
