Make sure you are part of the annual Dick Reynolds Club Anzac Day Lunch which pays tribute to those VFL/AFL players who served in the RAAF.
Keith Miller, Graham Chalmers, and ""Bluey"" Truscott were high flyers in every sense of the words. Whether it was putting their lives on the line flying missions during World War Two and Vietnam, or putting their bodies on the line on the football field - they did so with courage and style.
Sam Loxton, past Australian Test player, has been invited to talk on his experiences of war and football, hear his stories of great mate Keith Miller, the WW2 Spitfire pilot, hear Don Cordner on his associations with ""Bluey"" Truscott the Melbourne and RAAF legend, and Graham Chalmers from Footscray will talk of his experiences with the RAAF in Vietnam.
Special guest, Air Commodore Richard Owens from the RAAF will tell of his recollections of service with the Bomber Squadrons. His first posting was flying Canberra aircraft with No 2 Squadron at RAAF Base Amberley.
We will also have some special guests from the United States Services who are in Australia to help celebrate Anzac Day. Capt. Clayton Nattier, Staff Sergeant Elmer ""Lucky"" McGinty and, Sergeant Elmo Mischler from the United States Army Air Corps and others will tell of their experiences with the boys from the RAAF.
There will be stories that will move you to tears and others that will produce tears of laughter. Either way, this is an occasion that should not be missed.
