From RAAF Edinburgh, South Australia
Those of you who have been interested reading about our recent relationships with 10 Sqn RAAF ‘Down Under’ near Adelaide, Australia, may choose to read about the dynamic former Officer Commanding 10 Sqn RAAF. We knew that she, Marija (Maz) Jovanovich had left the Squadron in December last year, just as it was re-equipping with the Poseidon ‘intelligence’ aircraft which changes the Squadron’s role from its former maritime one flying the Orion.
What we didn’t know until now was that she has not only been promoted to group captain rank (she's the first female to reach that rank in the RAAF) but she has also been busy doing a few other things as well ! ......... producing baby Angus being just one.
Thanks to Ian Macmillan who follows her fortunes on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter).
See Maz’ https://twitter.com/maz_jovanovich?s=43 recent post here:
Since December, I have handed over command of mighty 10 Squadron (including retiring the ⯑⯑ P3), and @Sydj04 and I have moved interstate, prepped a house for sale, done a kitchen reno, HAD A BABY, [Angus] and started new jobs. Today our Adelaide Hills house settled. Tonight we celebrate. pic.twitter.com/Oe93jOD9lL
We think that 'Congratulations from us in the UK' are in order on at least two counts.
