Malcolm Gibson YHS 1962 - Another little personal story on the side which relates to Yallourn residents. My father passed away for some 6 years ago now and last year I decided to walk in the Melbourne ANZAC day march to the Shrine of Remembrance in memory of him. During World War two, he was a Lancaster pilot with several British squadrons and was one of the lucky one third of the members of Bomber Command to survive the war. He was not a member of the RSL, but was a member of a group of fellows who named themselves the Odd Bods Association. The association is made up of Australian airmen who flew with British and not Australian squadrons. I rang the association prior to Anzac day, was told I was welcome to march with them, and was given their form up point and departure time. I duly lined up at the allotted time and place, was really peeved to see some of these octogenarians had more hair and in some cases more hair colour than I do and waited to march off. Whilst chatting to some of them and looking around I spotted a familiar face who I recognised instantly. This fellow was an ex Yallourn resident by the name of Frank Sims who lived in Hillside Rd. Frank's son Robert and I were good mates for quite a few years. I hadn't seen Frank or Robert for some 40 years so we spent the whole march catching up with family movements. You may or may not remember Robert but he is working in London for a Fleet Street tabloid I believe and is returning to Australia soon. You know the old saying about it being a small world.
