THE urgency to repair and limited equipment and supplies meant that RAAF mechanics had to improvise to get vehicles moving in the New Zealand Variety Club Bash.

Sergeant Jeff Stephenson and Corporal Ross Graham drove the support mechanical vehicle that was called on to fix the car problems. Sergeant Tanya Baldwin was the third RAAF member who helped the Royal New Zealand Air Force in the bash. The event raises money for children’s charities.

It was held over seven days touring the South Island of New Zealand from Christchurch through Akaroa, Methven, Greymouth, Hanmer Springs and finishing in Nelson.
