Shilo Stag’s archives are filled with negatives and film reprints from the era of film photography, with photos turned into PMTs (Photo Mechanical Transfer) before being used in the layout process — before the introduction of InDesign and computer layout. In the past, it was called ‘cut and paste’ doing layout. Images here: biplane sprays canola adjacent to the Base; German tank on parade during a CoC ceremony; WO Wilson posed for a photo in 2000 showing off her ladies hockey gold medal; WO Ringland finished eighth after crossing the finish line during an Army sports activity at the track; soldier Vass posed for a mug shot after an honours and awards event, wearing the drab green Army attire of her era before the introduction of the CADPAT uniform; a young Dean the Barber when he had hair, works at his usual chair when he was a member of the staff in the CANEX-based barbershop.
