TRANSFORMATION OR REINCARNATION
I had been asked me to write an article for the Dec ’97 issue of ‘Vampire’. Well, I well and truly missed the deadline, but in recalling events of 25 – 30 years ago, perhaps a month or two doesn’t matter. |

On December 23, 1996, I received my first newsletter, and upon opening it a flood of memories came pouring back. Memories of a unit I had served with for twelve months. Over those twelve months we had become a family, we shared good times and bad times but it had molded us into a superb medical unit and changed our lives. |

An interesting fashion accessory to say the least, an early military version of a Medicare card made from brass and painted black. Each tag imprinted with that all important regimental number, name, religion and blood type and which, according to the army regulations, no man or woman should be seen without. |

Letter To The Editor of ‘Call Sign Vampire’
From Bruce Nelson San Antonio, TEXAS, USA Dustoff 159 In today's mail, I received a copy of the July 97 Edition of "Call Sign VAMPIRE" sent to me by my good friend Brian Hansson, from Queensland. Looking at the photos and reading the articles took me back to SVN in 1970-71 and a lot of great memories. |

Johnny O’Keefe’s Visit to 1AFH
With respect to Greg Cant’s belief that I was missing for three days, I think he is putting two separate things together. Johnny O’Keefe’s visit and Mike Downey’s disappearances! |
