The winners of the Defence Force Recruiting competition

25 October 2005

A commercial radio competition sponsored by Defence Force Recruiting as part of the 'Pilots Wanted' campaign saw a large group of school age leavers spend the day at Richmond in Western Sydney experiencing first hand the dynamics of an operational Air Force base.

The competition winners, Mr Chris Scott from Pittsworth, Queensland; Ms Brook Hindmarsh from Sandy Bay, Tasmania; and Mr David Twine, from Mount Gravatt in Queensland were chosen from hundreds of entries from across Australia.

The competition winners were given a VIP tour of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Richmond, a background briefing, some close up inspections of various RAAF aircraft and a special lunch before being presented with specially prepared mementos of the day.
