Back to the battlefield Ever wondered how you’d have lived in the mud and dust of the battlefields of World War II? Heading to the hangar at the old Werribee airfield next month may provide some answers. The Geelong Military Re-enactment Group will be setting up a bivouac, complete with tents and kitchen, while authentic military vehicles will be on display. The group will also be firing a cannon in a paddock beside the hangar. The Liberator Group, whose members are restoring a B24 Liberator bomber at the hangar, will be on hand to explain their work. The August 14 open day, at the corner of Princes Highway and Farm Road, is a fundraiser for the Liberator Group, which will use money raised to help find a new home for the bomber. Gates are open from 9.30am-3.30pm. B-24 LIBERATOR RESTORATION AUSTRALIA MEMBER JOHN GILBERT

Police call for calm By Adem Saban A spate of aggravated burglaries across the western suburbs has prompted a police inspector to call for calm. Inspector Wayne Newman said police understood the community was feeling fearful. “But we want to assure you that we are focused on tackling this issue,” he said. “We’re making progress and making arrests. Day and night patrols are also being conducted at high-risk locations to prevent offences taking place.” Inspector Newman, officer in charge of the north-west metro crime team, said
the community needed to assist police in preventing theft by not leaving valuables in cars, securing keys, locking cars and parking in well-lit areas. He advised people to consider locking car doors when driving and to always be aware of their surroundings. While the burglaries were confronting, Inspector Newman said, “We’re confident we’re on top of it. While recently there has been an increase in these types of offences, please be assured they’re not everyday occurrences”. His comments come as police charged four teenagers over an aggravated burglary
