Janne McMahon: I found this photo going through my old files. It was taken at my Passing Out Parade on 23/6/1969. It shows Adrian Allingham (R.I.P.), Dennis Gilligan, Aldo Lorenzutta (RIP) and Bruce Smith. They all won portable Olivetti typewriters as part of the Transfield trophy for topping the Detectives Course in 1968 & 1969. The little bloke without the hat was from Transfield. Bruce Smith presented his typewriter to the Detective Training Unit in 2010. Their names appear at the top of the honour board.
Jim MumfordAldo also topped the class 99 in 1964. Top bloke.
