That is unfortunate. It's a nice looking pin.

BTW, I'm sure you love getting to see the Orions flying over every day from Woodbourne.

We've had a bunch of them over near me at Greenville for refit by E-Systems.

Seaking, Thanks for the link, found I am also entitled to another medal for service in Borneo, 41 years after we left there.

I had exactly the same question, I emailed them and I was advised you don't need the NI number, the important one is your service number. So that's all I put and did mine by email.

It comes in a nice presentation box too.

Hope that helps

Chris: The occasional one goes over, they're based at Whenuapai, Auckland comrade. Always nicer to hear with that whistle than the herc, funny how a different mount changes things.

Seaking: Thanks I was going to write them anyway.

Rich: Is that the Malaysian PJM, or for services to Tiger Breweries?

steelsporran. Both if I could get away with it, there was actualy talk of a seperate medal while we were there the, Sarawak Star was bandied about, took over 40 years to get this one approved, meanwhile a number of my mates at that time are no longer in a position to get it now, probably be another 10 years before we actualy get it.
