RIP Andy.
One of the most good natured and gentle fellas I ever worked with.

A 12 division legend.

His night shift cook up roast dinners were a thing of beauty. If you were his station reserve on night shift you knew it was going to be a great week. As all his friends and co-workers knew Andy had one big flaw which he conquered in his latter years.

I would like to diverge a little from the subject of police history to acknowledge a member who passed away in service yesterday.

Leading Senior Constable Gary Miller, 30326, current Highway patrolman was an exceptional member and friend to many.

Committed to making the roads safer, Gary was in all respects the quiet achiever.

I say this with good authority having worked with Gary back in the day.

I acknowledge your service and dedication.

Stand easy Gary, your job here is done.

Bill Connors – NSW Fallen Police FB Group

The memories this brings back, one of the many tales about the old Sandstone Police Station at Gosford was that Ted Albury was meticulous about signing the many pads that were in existence in those days.

His standard signature was “Noted E.G. Albury“.

A few fellows who shall remain nameless took it upon themselves to reproduce that signature on every piece of paper that existed in the Station.

Noted E.G.Albury was cropping up on files all around the State and was strongly rumoured to have been seen on the back of a calendar hanging in the Commissioners Office.

The camaraderie and fellowship which existed amongst the troops in those days will forever remain in my memories.

John was also an active member of the NSWPF Pistol Club and travelled all over the country to compete.

Email received by AustralianPolice.com.au on Friday 20 July 2018:

Good afternoon,

I knew John through his involvement with the volunteer emergency communications group WICEN NSW Inc, a specialist squad of the NSW Volunteer Rescue Association. WICEN uses Amateur Radio, and other communications resources to serve the community, including during disasters.

He served this organisation as President, and State Coordinator (SCO), equivalent to Head of Squad.

He was also a member of HADARC, the Hornsby and Districts Amateur Radio Club, Inc. He has been a licensed Amateur Radio operator since 1955.

The following is the announcement to Amateurs, and to HADARC members. I also lived near John for a period.

Julian.

Silent key Announcement for Sunday ARNSW Broadcast.

We sadly advise John Howard VK2AMH became a Silent Key on Monday 16 July 2018 after a period of prolonged health and mobility problems. He was aged 88.

John was born 16 June 1930 at Muswellbrook, NSW. His father was a Superintendent of Police and John followed his father into the Police Force. John became involved with the police radio communications system and played a significant part in structuring police radio into all service vehicles.

As a radio amateur, he was first licensed as VK2AHM in 1955 when living at Earlwood, later changing his Callsign to VK2AMH. A long-time member of HADARC, John was also very active in WICEN.

A service will be held on Monday, 23 July 2018 at 1.30pm in the Camellia Chapel at Macquarie Park Crematorium.

THIS ARTICLE IS ‘NOT’ VERIFIED AS BEING ‘OUR’ LEON CREAGH BUT THE AGE IS NEAR CORRECT, HIS FATHER’S NAME WAS ERNEST – ERNIE BEING SHORT FOR ERNEST. HE WAS BORN IN GLOUCESTER

Gloucester Advocate (NSW : 1905 – 1954), Friday 27 January 1950, page 3

‘Plane Destroyed in Crash Landing – –

The Truscott Flying Club’s plane, Robin, was wrecked when it made a forced landing in a paddock near Hollywood holiday resort ( Lansdowne – 2163 ) on the George’s River on Wednesday. The single occupant of the aircraft, Mr. Leon Creagh, 21, of Botany, a student pilot, was unhurt. Creagh ‘undershot’ the paddock he had selected for a forced landing

and stalled the aircraft to avoid hitting overhead wires. The plane dropped into the paddock in an almost straight and level position from a height of 40 feet and hit the ground with such force that it fell to pieces. Robin, a De Haviland 60 Gipsy Moth, was used for years by Dr. Clyde Fenton on aerial medical trips in the Northern Territory. ( Leon is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Creagh, of Gloucester ).
