Well done BobThis year not only marks the Royal Australian Air Force’s 100th birthday, but also marks the 55th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan, one of the largest battles fought by Australians during the Vietnam War.
Almost 60,000 Australians served in the Vietnam War, including Flight Lieutenant Bob Grandin.
Bob began his career in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) when he joined the RAAF College in 1957 as a General Duties Pilot.
He then served with No 11 squadron and No 9 Squadron, the latter during the Vietnam War.
The most memorable event of his career happened during the Battle of Long Tan, where he was the co-pilot of the lead helicopter in an ammunition resupply to Delta Company during the height of the battle.
Bob left the RAAF in January of 1973 after serving for 16 years. He then began a career as a mathematics teacher and he has established two schools in Queensland.
