Am I mistaken, but was Fifi the Training Commander at one stage..?
Always thought he was - as previously said - a bit aloof, but I put that down to his RN origins. Thought he was a straight up decent bloke.

Don't believe he was TC, the RN'er that was at one stage was, I believe, David Mark Alexander Hans Hamilton!!
He left Nirimba at the end of 65 and joined Vampire as MEO, from 66-67 when he went to GID as project superintendent then as SPJP.
I don't recall him teaching maths, Rick, but he have have taught is to others.

"Hi Rick,
I thank you providing this information about the sad passing my old Divisional Officer Lt Berlin. I will always remember and appreciate how he reached out to me through the athletics group and kept me
focused at Nirimba. I'm sure I would not have made it but for his encouragement.
I do remember how pissed he was with us all at Mussellbrook when we got on the grog. I also remember that he was chuffed that we couldn't better his time to drive from Nirimba to Mussellbrook.
Fondly remembered.
I don't have access to Skilled Hands but would appreciate you posting for me if you would please.
Trust this finds you well.
Regards,
Paul Adcock"
