CHANCE MEETING .... IP: 1.132.17.57 Posted on 18/7/2021 at 11:32:07 AM by Lance Haslewood
It's a small world. Today I attended a Torana run to the 'Pizza Guy HQ' at Glenview which located at the beginning of Steve Irwin Way at Glenview (Q). The staff came out to look at the cars and one of them (Simon Jones) noticed the Airman Aircrew decal on my rear window, which bears a C-130H.
"Did you fly Hercs?" He said. "No", was the response. "However, I was a loadmaster on C-130Es at one time." I said.
"You might know my dad who was a flight engineer with 37 Squadron, Dave Jones?"
"Yes, I know Dave Jones." With that I opened the AAA website on my phone to Dave Jones' page and said, "Is this your dad?" His eyes lit-up like saucers.
It's amazing how, when and where you meet people who have connection in one form or another. Replies:
