Hello all,
Just to let you know of three very interesting historical events coming up.
First is a weekend of fabulous talks relating to Australian military n industrial history to be held at the Lithgow small Arms factory Museum next weekend . The war cut us off from normal supplies and we had not only to manufacture munitions and aircraft etc but also spares for specialty everyday items like surgical instruments projectors and even shearing handpieces. The speakers are just the best and the cost is very reasonable. Unbelievably there has only been a small response and the event is in danger o being cancelled.
I believe it is a chance that is not to be missed so if you would like to attend please contact Kerry Guerin straight away on the numbers /emails below.
