Sad indeed to hear of Nigel's passing, he was one of those 'stand-out' characters of the term ahead of us
who had a ‘larger than life’ impact on us bunch of raw 'Sproggs'. Nigel was a knowledgeable contributor to
RAN Skilled Hands, an all-round 'nice bloke' and will be sadly missed...
Rest on your oars Nigel, your jouney's done... 
P.S. This came in from Bob 'Kip' Dunlop via Facebook...
In case you havn't heard Nigel Baird-Orr passed away a few days ago. His funeral is at the Bunbury
Crematorium at 10:30am on 10/10/2012. Cheers...._________________  Rick Pengilly WEBMASTER Ex-CPOMTH3 R42630 13th MOBI Intake July'62 to July'74 HMAS Nirimba - HMAS Melbourne - HMAS Cerberus - HMAS Tarangau - HMAS Lonsdale - HMAS Tarangau - HMAS Nirimba - HMAS Brisbane

Very sad news share a house in StKilda with Nigel way back when . He was a real white man.

Sad news indeed. Rest in peace Nigel.
We had some good times together when at Stirling.
