Graduation


Emergency Group Shot

Add any comments about your training class: We were the first group through in the 'New' YSL uniform. The grooming meisters were very strict. Also, the Japanese market share was on the increase and we had 5 Japanese speakers in the class. We were required to do 4 Japan trips per bid period for the first 2 years flying, that is, until the bidding system came in, then basically most of us didnt get to Japan for the first 2 years of the bidding system until changes were made to trip allocation. Qantas lost many Japanese Pax to JAL over this period.

Ken Burton might best be remembered for his Mauritius basing at the end of which he barricaded himself in his apartment and eventually Qantas security were sent over to extract him and bring him home. He obviously enjoyed the basing!!
 
Ian Neville died after only a few years of flying. He was being treated by the company doctor for an inner ear infection and died of a brain tumor.
 
Paul Harris only flew for a few years and then left to work in the Department of Defence where he still is today. Back in the late 60's he claimed that the defence department knew more about us as crew members then we did about ourselves!!

Helen Gooley (now Cook), Mary Ann Eaton, Liz Pope, about ten of us but only we three lasted the distance and flew for any length of time.  Some left during training and some left soon after.  We were a mixed class with flight stewards and some of those were as follows:  John Fletcher, Daryl Ganter (spoke to Daryl the other day and he recalled the class number and it would seem correct chronologically), Don Maginn, John Caporn, Fred Harry, Peter Eustace, Bill ? , ? Watts and several others whose faces I remember but whose names I don't. .

Many of us moved into a block of rennovated flats in Campbell Parade in Bondi during training and then moved on afterwards, I suspect that the names I remember were the ones who lived in Bondi during that time.

Peter Black, Peter Walker and Max Daynes left some years ago. Recent packages have claimed the scalps of Ray Moore, Alan Ennis, Phil mathers andBen Franklin.The balance of the class (3) battle on. Alan and Phil realised a great deal more service than was anticipated at our graduation in 1969 as our class instructors felt that further training might be appropriate before they could be set free to look after the travelling public and were held back for another week. In true Qantas fashion, they never finished the week as there no crew available and the guys were called out to do their first trips.Some things never change.

A really great bunch of guys, some didn't last too long but a lot of us, got a lot of distance under our belts. Love to know what they are getting up to now!!! I pulled the pin in October 2006 and running two businesses in Auckland New Zealand with my wife, who is an Auckland girl.
Look forward to catching up this December at the reunion.
Cheers.
