Hi All,

It is with regret I have to advise that our fellow 14th Intake Tulip mate, Alan (AA) Jones A219993 passed away in Adelaide on 09 Dec 17 . Alan transferred from the Navy to the RAAF late in 1960 as an apprentice. His Navy No was R42322. I was unaware of his passing and it has just been confirmed. Alan was an ElecFitter on his early discharge. He later rejoined as a Barracks Electrician and completed over 20 years service. He had lived in Adelaide for a number of years.
Condolences go out to his family.

RIP Jonesy.

Regards to all
Geoff (Dags) Dorward
