You've got decent taste in firearms from the looks of it ;)

Well, yeah, forbidden fruit does taste best. The closest thing that I've used close to the F88 was the WTSS (Weapon Training Simulation System) on RAAF Base Williamtown. Like a big video game but your actually holding a functioning F88 shooting at a big tv, Tupperware is fun...

Well thanks for the warm welcome, will hopefully post some pics of holy paper once I have my Lee in my arms.

Cheers guys,
~Ethan.

Welcome mate.

Stupid question but you've got to be 18 to join RAAF obviously, right?

2 more years, eh...
Thin out their numbers, Ned!

Once you get the 2 months to get your license and first FA out of the way, you definitely can't complain about the VIC online PTA system.

A day or two is pretty standard here when the dealer does permits online.
