Looking for old friends

I’m a former enlisted Air Force member. I’m looking for information regarding an old friend from my days in the Air Force. His name is Lesley Burrell about 44 years old, originally from Warwick, in Queensland. He entered the Air Force in 1977.

I was at RAAF Base Pearce with Les from 1978-1981. Please contact Gordon Blair by email at gordonheather@optusnet.com.au.

I am trying to find Kevin Taylor. He was stationed in Bankstown, Sydney, in 1970-71. I’m not sure when he actually was posted out, but before his posting to Bankstown he was stationed in the Northern Territory.

His mother went under the name of Mrs West from Boronia Victoria. If anyone knows his whereabouts, please contact Teresa Adams by email at tadams@ecn.net.au.
