  1. Hi Paul, a mate of mine, Gary Herden from Goolwa (long time since I was a fellow apprentice with him at Philips Hendon) sent me the link to your site.
    I contacted him to see what the arrangement was regarding Farina next week end during the RAAF flyover.

    I’m webmaster for http://www.farinarestoration.com by the way. Thought you might not be aware of our site, as you mentioned the ABC as a source of information on Farina.

    Our site is frequently updated, and anyone who would like to keep up-to-date with our operations at Farina may become a “friend of Farina” by going to this page… http://www.farinarestoration.com/page17/contact-2/index.php. (there’s a link to this on the home page ).

    Cheers mate, Rob Fairweather (ex 5ZFG)
