MISSION 188 - LIGHTNING RIDGE / BANKSTOWN / LIGHTNING RIDGE

This was the first appointment at the Royal Far West in Sydney for 6 year old and 4 year old brothers. The eldest has severe behavioural and psychiatric disabilities including ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder; ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder); PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). The younger brother is also showing signs of these disorders and therefore both children were required to see specialists. A long road or rail trip would have been extremely traumatic for the family.

Comment by Earth Angel, Graham Bentley

"Collected the family at Manly at 1030 and delivered them to Bankstown at 1140 - traffic on the north side was quite heavy. Jeff Hutchinson was waiting with VH-YER. They took off for Lightning Ridge at 1215.

Also had the pleasure of meeting Bill Bristow (and VH-NGG) at Bankstown."
