Bob had the NSW Personal number plates  SPY-111 for his vehicle.

Just been looking at some old Police photos I have from Albury days. These two photos would have been taken in the late 70’s of the Albury District SWOS at the time. I recall some of the names, Graham (Squizzy) Taylor who is now deceased, Terry Frazer, Bill Drummond, Col Harrington, Bob Schmidt and possibly Craig Whitmore (although not certain if it is Craig) The two guys at front in the bigger group photo and the guy in uniform I am not sure of. I think Bob Schmidt and Bill (bulldog) Drummond are still around Albury. Not sure of the others. Remington 370 pump action 12 gauge shotguns. Certainly better than the old 38 Smith & Wesson in dangerous situations.
