Default Thanks and apologies

Sorry for hijacking the thread - but thanks again all for the input.
Fred turned 103 last month, I have noted a lot of his info but will ask his permission to record his story.
That book should shine some light on the subject (!), coincidentally the author has the same name as the fellow I bought my C15A off ... may be a sign

Default Footnote

Just a quick note to say we caught up with Fred at an ANZAC service in his home town - my wife looked after him in a recent hospital stay.
We also had afternoon tea with him a couple of weeks ago and I recorded many of his memoirs. He is still sharp as ever and going strong
