Re: A Farewell to those with whom we served...
Whilst more recent changes to rank structures confused the issues, correct me if I'm wrong, but there was a distinct difference between a Chief Stoker and a Chief Engine Room Artificer...

Re: A Farewell to those with whom we served...
For those who may have served with L/CDR Bill Callan.
I have been asked and with sadness pass on - especially to the Fleet Air Arm community - the news that after a long illness Lieutenant Commander W.E. (Bill) Callan has died.
Details of funeral arrangements are unknown at this time, but Mike Astbury (02-62471562) may have details in a few days.
Bill was a Fighter Pilot in 805 and 724 Squadrons and had several Air Group embarkations in the then Flagship, HMAS Melbourne.
Regards,
Mike Krause

Re: A Farewell to those with whom we served...
Hi Allan... 
I don't have any record of a 'Dave Mathews' in the July 1977 Intake, nor a few Intakes either side of that one...
If you can get us some more/ correct information, we'll be happy to give Dave a topic of his own, and the send off he deserves...
