Friends Committee Meeting At RAAF Museum Point Cook Celebrates 65 Years of Odd Bods

The first official Odd Bods meeting was held on 24th August 1954 and 65 years later Friends Of The Odd Bods Association Inc. celebrated the occasion at the RAAF Museum Point Cook.

Museum Director, David Gardner OAM, graciously provided our meeting room, a light lunch, and then treated committee members to a fly past of historic aircraft.

The location was significant for a number of reasons, and particularly because one of the agenda items at this meeting was the treatment of historic memorabilia. The museum is in the process of setting up displays for Fighter Command, Bomber Command, Coastal Command, and Odd Bods.

A number of items of Odd Bods memorabilia have already been presented to the museum and David Gardner has asked us for historic information about the Odd Bods (UK) Association and Friends Of The Odd Bods which will be passed on in due course.
