VALE, GREG BUSHNELL, A121885, CREWMAN/LOADMASTER .... IP: 58.104.160.169 Posted on 16/1/2026 at 09:43:05 AM by Lance Haslewood
It is with utmost sadness that I report the passing of Greg Bushnell, Crewman and Loadmaster. Greg passed away at approximately 1900 hours last evening, 15th of January 2026. Greg had been ill for quite some time with brain cancer, which I understand, had advanced to a stage where it was no longer operable.
Greg completed No 1114 Recruit Course in 1971, and No 23 Crewman Course in 1980. He was both an Iroquois and Chinook Crewman, and later, a C-130E Loadmaster.
As a crewman, Greg completed a tour with the Multinational Force and Observers in the Sinai.
Our Deepest condolences to Robyn and family and friends.
RIP Bushy.
Funeral service arrangements will be advised when known.
