24.01.2022 We are greatly saddened to hear of the recent passing of Douglas Raymond Leak, one of South Australia's few remaining World War 2 Bomber Command veterans. Doug ...Leak was born at Medindie, South Australia, on 17 June 1923. He enlisted in the RAAF in Adelaide on 12 September 1942 as an aircrew trainee. He completed basic training at No 4 Initial Training School at Victor Harbour, South Australia, before competing No 1 Wireless and Air Gunners School at Ballarat, Victoria, and then No 3 Bombing and Air Gunnery School, at Sale, Victoria. Qualified as an air gunner, he was promoted to Sergeant and posted to the United Kingdom where he completed heavy bomber conversion training. In March 1945, Doug Leak was posted to No 149 Squadron (RAF) which was based at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk, England, and had transitioned to the Avro Lancaster in August 1944. Over 120 Australian’s served with 149 SQN(RAF) during the war including PLTOFF Rawdon Middleton, who received a Victoria Cross for his gallant actions with the Squadron in 1942. With 149 SQN (RAF), Doug Leak saw action in the last months of the war in the Combined Bomber Offensive, Operation MANNA (the dropping of food to starving civilians in the Netherlands) and the repatriation of allied POWs back to England from the continent. In April 1945, he was promoted to WOFF. Doug Leak was a long time member of the Air Force Association (SA) and a regular attendee at our ceremonies at Torrens Parade Ground. His attendance at these ceremonies in the future but particularly during the Air Force Centenary this year will be sorely missed. We offer our sincerest condolences to Doug’s family on the passing of this special World War 2 Bomber Command veteran who was such a part of our Association. Vale WOFF Douglas Raymond Leak. Lest we forget. Photo of Doug Leak at a Air Force Association / RAAF Edinburgh Ceremony at the Torrens Parade Ground’s Air Force Memorial in 2019, courtesy of Department of Defence.

17.01.2022 A group of deadset legends who would drop everything and literally give a veteran the shirt off their back if it would improve their life in anyway shape or form. The respect and dignity they show the veteran community is second to none.

05.01.2022 Twenty-one years ago, Australian troops led a multinational taskforce to address the humanitarian and security crisis in East Timor. More than 5,500 Australians... participated in INTERFET before the arrival of UN peacekeepers in February 2000. Last year, RSL Queensland gave six veterans the opportunity to travel to Timor Leste to take part in the 20th anniversary commemoration of the INTERFET peacekeeping mission. During the nine-day tour, the group saw firsthand how their service had contributed to the country’s transformation. They shared their reflections with us in this video.
