We were class mates. I knew him as John. Had a deep commanding voice to my recollection. RIP John
He was known to all and sundry as John Commins. He was as stated in the Air Force Cadets and his wife tells me he did National Service in the Air Force and obtained his Pilot Licence. He did service in Broken Hill prior to joining the Prosecuting Branch.
Also the Police woman other than Gwen Martin (who died recently) was Carol Tubner.
I was in that class. I knew him. But I have no further information about him, except that he and I were both in the Air Force cadets when in high school.
Thank you for that information Rob.
