Page 3 Girl.
Our page 3 girl this issue is the lovely Karinne Cilento, who, before she married Simon Cilento, was Karinne McDougall, the daughter of John McDougall, Caribou man for longer than he cares to remember.
Karinne works with
Boeing Defense Australia and in November of 2007
visited the Boeing factory in Long
Karinne really has aeroplanes flowing through her veins, with a dad who
was a loady on Caribous for a million years, it was only natural that
she
Her husband, Simon, was a Navy Sea King chopper pilot but, after being reminded a gazillion times that he made a huge mistake in joining the Navy and not the RAAF, has since left and turned to the law.
We spoke to dad John who told us Karinne was a delight as a young girl and being a proud dad, he gave us a photo of a very young Karinne who would have been about 2 years old when the pic was taken.
We know Karinne would insist that we share it with you.

2OCU.
John Scott sent us the photo below which we had in our last issue and John was a little unsure of the names of the blokes in the pic – and asked for assistance.
Greg Jones saw the pic and his memory obviously isn’t as corrupted as John’s as he can remember most. Greg also confirms that the year it was taken was 1975 because John Green was the FSGT in 1974 (he was posted to 478SQN Malaysia) and Bluey Gilmore took over the reins.
Greg says he fondly remembers the section as "Lance Warren's TV repair shop" as that seemed to be the major activity. “It seemed to me that somehow we young guys profited from Lance's experience with TV repairs while Lance simply profited. Slave labour?”
We’re still short two names, if any-one can help??
The names we have are:

Back row L-R: Greg Jones, Col Redding, ??? ???, Col Sanders, Steve Bognar, Steve Todd, Noel Brumley, John Scott. Middle Row L-R: "Tiger" Lee (not sure of first name), John Blair, Terry Thurn, Ron Green, ??? ???, Roy Ferguson Front Row L-R: Dick Homewood, Lance Warren, Geoff Schmidt, Blue Gilmore, Bob Saxton, Ted Marlborough |

Anzac Day 1953 (or 1954).
Joy Hutchinson sent us the photo below which is of a bunch of Point Cook WRAAF’s who marched in the Melbourne Anzac Day march back in either 1953 or 1954. The photo was taken in a hotel dining room at the top end of Collins Street. Joy says the WRAAF’s met up with girls from the Army and Navy and the group decided to finish the day off having a few drinks out of sight of prying officers. And, just to confuse the issue a little bit more, the girls swapped uniform jackets.
Joy is third from the left, in the front row, with the Army jacket and Navy Cap. |

Bob, a 70-year-old, extremely wealthy widower, shows up at the Country Club with a breathtakingly beautiful and very sexy 25-year-old blond-haired woman who knocks everyone's socks off with her youthful sex appeal and charm and who hangs over Bob's arm and listens intently to his every word.
His mates at the club are all aghast. At the very first chance, they corner him and ask, 'Bob, how'd you get the trophy girlfriend?' Bob replies, 'Girlfriend? She's my wife!'
They are knocked over, but continue to ask. 'So, how'd you persuade her to marry you?' 'I lied about my age', Bob replies.
'What, did you tell her you were only 50?' Bob smiles and says, 'No, I told her I was 90.' |

Cracking an international market is a goal of most growing corporations. It shouldn't be that hard, yet even the big multi-nationals run into trouble because of language and cultural differences. |
