Farewelling our veteran members has been an inevitable consequence of time since WW2, but on this occasion we are saying goodbye to a Committee Member and Daughter of a veteran.
Jennifer (Jenn) Hibbens passed on 2/10/24. Jenn had been ill for sometime, but continued her valuable contribution to our Association as Committee Member and Welcoming Officer.
Jenn represented the Association at The National Battle of Britain Commemorations (Gathering of Eagles) in Hobart 2019, and the RAAF Centenary Celebrations in Canberra in 2021. In the photo below she is shown with Air Marshal Mel Hupfield, Chief of Air Force, with wife Louise (left).
Jenn wrote a fascinating story about her Father, Smokey Hibbens - The Habitual Escaper - Smokey Hibbens -by Jenny Hibbens.
We are grateful for Jenn's contribution to the Odd Bods, and pass on our commiserations to all who knew her.
