Hi
I served in HMAS Supply from Mar to Dec 1966 – Peter McNair ORDEM
I am trying to research the ships movements/activities and crew during this period.
My primary aim is to answer my grand childrens questions but also for my own interest.
It would be appreciated if you can advice me or point me in the right direction to get any of the data I seek during this period for HMAS Supply?
Thank you
Kind Regards
Peter McNair

Gentlemen a request for information from an old crew member, can anyone help him out, if so please contact Lee direct at teh email below.
I served on HMAS Supply on two occasions, approximate dates only, as a Tiff ERA3/2 from Jan 66 through Dec 69 and then as Senior Engineer from some time in 78 to about 80 if I can remember. I applied for the Vietnam Logistics Medal some time ago as I remember being on Supply doing runs between Singapore and the Gun Line replenishment area off Vietnam refuelling US and Australian ships, including dashing further out to sea on a couple of occasions when there was an air threat, however I was told these activities did not count. This seems strange to me as there is only a 24 hour requirement to qualify but how do you argue with them. Can you tell me if Supply crew members are eligible for this decoration or any other war service during my time on board and if so how do I apply.
I also remember being on Supply during the Indonesian Confrontation and spending several anxious hours closed up at action stations while being shadowed by an Indon destroyer, was there any recognition for these activities?
Regards,
Lee Shimbel lshimbel@wesresources.com.au

I'm an author
with a major Aust publishing company, presently writing
a book about Derek Ernest Percy, ex RAN who murdered a
12 year old girl at Warneet in 1969. He was found unfit
to plead and is in jail for life, grounds of insanity. I
urgently need to hear from anyone who served with Percy
at Cerberus or elsewhere in the 60s. He was at Cerberus
in 1968 but I need further details: his job, what he was
like, any stories, etc. Percy is a suspect for Beaumont
children, Adl, 1966, Alan Redston, Canberra, 3 year old
Simon Brook, Sydney, Wanda Beach murders, etc.
Everywhere the boat went, and he was on it, kids were
murdered.
Please - if anyone can help me - I would so appreciate.
Info will be credited in book with your name unless
requested otherwise, but please, it needs to be correct.
My email address is
bedim@ozemail.com.au
Many thanks, all
Debi Marshall

NEWS Update
The book that was released in May during the Mururoa Veterans Reunion at Napier NZ is a great read especially the bits about those crazy Tankermen who come to help their Kiwi mates.. Grab a copy of the book from Gerry its well worth it
The A5 size paperback book of 248 pages includes many photographs of the time.
It covers the political manoeuvrings as well as the operations of Supply, Otago and Canterbury. It also includes the involvement of HMNZS Lachlan which was first on the scene unbeknown to the media.
The cost is $NZ25.00 plus $NZ10.00 p&p. I'm happy to receive a cheque on an Australian Bank (they own ours)
Cheers
