Geoff Rose No 37 RAAF Armament Fitters Course
 died in Townsville (cancer) 22 Dec 2006
 

 My brother Geoffrey Alfred Rose died of cancer on 22 December 2006, aged 58 years, at Townsville.  He was born 6 June 1948 and was an armourer in the RAAF from about 1967 to about 1973, based at Wagga Wagga and Amberley.

If any of your members have photographs of Geoff, especially of the rowing trip he made with others on the Murrumbidgee River, I would be very grateful to receive copies.

Kindest regards
