Hi Oorarries,

I’m Sean Winter your 42 Intake page organiser. You may remember me from 42 Intake - 5 Flight or 42 Intake Airframe Fitters Course.

I am looking for any old photos, stories or recollections you have and want to share. These items will be added to this, our 42 Intake Oorarries page.

I remember being treated like an adult well before I actually was one. I know I did not live up to a lot of those expectations, at least for many years. I have ultimately turned out to be a better person and acknowledge the mistakes I made as a child whilst wearing a man’s uniform. When you think about it, that's what the RAAF did well – it made a man (or woman) of you - even if it was before your time to be one. That being said I remember making friends that I have to this day and learning what loyalty and mateship is about

So get involved Oorarries! Let me know if you have stories or photos that you would like to share on the new RAAF Apprentices website.

Sean 'Bubbles' Winter
