Personal Stories
RAAF
Registered as David Wayne Bastick - known and referred to as Sam Bastick in the Royal Australian Air Force.
The error has occurred as my father acquired the name Sambo mmm..... He flew with a Pink Panther outside his cockpit - a cartoon character accompanied by a music theme that will always be cherished.
