So there was, if you know of Michael Malone out of INET in Western Australia, for example, we owned Adelaide to a large degree.

And there was another business out of Melbourne and Aussie Mail sort of ruled the East Coast, to be honest.

Well, I was a guided weapons technician, essentially, in the army.

So back in the days.

Guided weapons technician.

Yeah.

What is that?

So, I primarily worked on two weapon systems, the low-level air defense.

So, missiles that shoot down aircraft.

So, RBS-70 and Rapier, technically.

So, we looked after the guidance, the hydraulics, optics, the whole box and box.

So, guidance is comms?

Guidance, no, is laser and or radar.

Right.

So, on the RBS-70, it was a laser guidance.

It was a laser.

You point a laser beam at the aircraft, the missile would ride the beam to the aircraft.

And, you know, the operators had a saying, they said, go for the glass bits.

So they like to put these things for the pilot's heads, essentially, if you know what I mean.

So they're very, very accurate weapons, to be honest.
