WELCOME

Welcome to the 3 Sqn RAAF Association Queensland pages of the 3 Squadron Web Site.

These pages will be updated every three months to ensure that ex-members of 3 Sqn, and current serving members, are brought up to date with the activities within the Qld. Branch of the Association.

I would like any thoughts etc. as to the content to be referred to me at:
sec3sqnassocqld@gmail.com
(Additional contact details listed at the end of this page.)
All suggestions and criticism welcomed and suggestions will be carefully considered.
- The criticisms will, in all probably, be filed in the WPB, thus ensuring they will be treated with the upmost respect.
