BFA Beijing style

L-R: LCDR Jeff Thompson, LEUT Cathryn Willis, Capt Rachel Harris, Fltlt Paul Deighton, Defence Attache COL Russ Smith, SQNLDR Claudio Santarossa, FSGT Paul Lyons and CPL Ashley Sinclair.

Where to end your BFA? The Forbidden City. After all if you’re in Beijing why not take advantage of the 2.4 kilometre run around it’s perimeter.

Among the more memorable moments of their two-week stay these ADF School of Language students in the Defence Attache’s office were stunned at first but then entered in to the spirit of the occasion when the DA, COL Russ Smith made the suggestion.

Everyone passed their BFA. It is not recorded what their Chinese hosts thought.
