78 SQUADRON ASSOCIATION NEWS |

 2010 Anzac Day March started off with the spiting of rain ,we assembled in our usual place and we help up yet again , by the poor coordination of the event organisers.Too many marching bands and way too many Navy proceed the RAAF, its pathetic that they cant organise this better . Lucky theres no war now ! Ninety year old men having to stand around in the street waiting for marching Koalas and able body Navy and others put us away just after midday . Still the crowds were there cheering us on . Dick Smithin his usual positrion with his sign "Thank You ". Thank you Dick ! Even tho it was late we managed to slip by the ABC cameras , but housr later we watched the tel;ecast and they didnt even mention 78 squadron . We'll be writing to them , I suppose we were lucky to get by in time for the the telecast as some behind us missed out completely. Still for family and relatives outsideof Sydney who were watching to see grandfather march would have been absolutley ropeable to cut away to a gardening show or whatever waas on after the broadcast times. Again emphasis was on the 75 squadron as usual , and the then 76 sq , but not a word about the mighty 78 squadron , just a sweeping pan of the camera caught our men .. Dissapointed but not out ! Next year we will get some prominence...we promise. some images will be posted on theis site thanks to Grant Walkers daughter Robyn who is always there to support us ..thanks . |
