Interesting place, thay have begun to place individual Australian WW2 service records on this site ... for those with relatives , you can be lucky and find info on that elusive relative .

PS found a record relating to the freighter IMP vehicle that was sold recently , they were considering using a Holden engine in it and a Porsche engine of all things !

If you go to the last page of Mike's NAA link above, it records the crash of Kittyhawk A29-192 being flown by F/O John Grey Gorton. Gorton, of course was Australia's 19th Prime Minister from 1968 to 1971. His trademark broken nose was a result of this accident. He died in 2002.

Cheers
