A film on life at Leeuwin

G'day Gents, we have received advice from John Perryman who is a historian with the Navy in Canberra (John is also an ex JR) and he has located a film on life at Leeuwin. This has been digitised and can be accessed on the following link at the navy's web site. The film runs for about 10 minutes and is of very high quality and gives a clear insight into Leeuwin at that time, you might even recognise a few faces. I have approached the reunion group with the view that the film be placed on the reunion web site or at least provide a link from there to the navy web site to access the film. I am sure you will all appreciate John Perryman's efforts in making this available.
Cheers

If you do not have a reasonably high speed access to the Internet then be warned. This film clip is approx 40 M'Bytes in size but for those who can manage that it is worthwhile watching
