After what was a wet start to the morning, the gods smiled when half an hour before opening the sun made a very welcome appearance. The day ended up being very clear and well attended, with the total ticket allocation of 20,000 exhausted days before the event.
The RAQ display was located on the far side of the oval with 7CSSB. Thanks to WO2 Cam Wheeler helping out with the set up. With sun now shining and a slight breeze picking up, the good old Hoochie Cord came in handy to secure the pull ups .
The location was a very good one, as we were right near the Army's brand new “Boxer” Reconnaissance vehicle location. It along with other vehicles drew a lot of interest, including a LAV, Abrams Tank, 45M Recovery Vehicle, M777 Howitzer, ARH, APC and more.
For those who aren't aware our Treasurer Steve Howells is the Brigade Welfare Officer. Steve was actively involved in organising the day, so a big congratulations to Steve and the team, along with 7CSSB.
For those interested we have some more photos of the day, you can find these in our photo gallery.
