  • An Aircrew Experience by Fred Barnes Document
    1 AS IT HAPPENED BY FRED BARNES AO DFC AFC AN AIRCREW EXPERIENCE ARCHIVAL NOTE: Fred was good enough to entrust his autobiography to me so that I could take extracts for our historical records. Fred joined the RAAF in 1943 when the Service was 22 years old and served continuously until the RAAF turned 60, 38 years later. He held every rank from AC2 to Air Vice-Marshal. Naturally, his book reads like an RAAF Aircrew Who’s Who from the 1940s to the 1980s. Because stories in this section are told in the first person, the words used are Fred’s, whose pilot training to ‘wings’ standard took place at no. 5 Service Flying Training School (SFTS) Uranquinty NSW where the following incident took place. E.C. WHO IS WHOM? One of our course mates was known as Maurie Burnett. He was a little wild and it was rather hard to believe his story that his previous occupation was ‘studying for the priesthood’. On the last weekend before graduation a group of us were in Wagga Wagga celebrating a little early. Because of rationing, hotels were only open for an hour or so at a time and we were walking across the main road to find another hotel that still had some beer. An old car with open spoke wheels was coming along the road and Maurie apparently had not seen it. We called a warning and Maurie, who had been imbibing a little, turned towards the oncoming car and said something to the effect of “Bother the car” and kicked at it.
