The tumbleweed is piling up against the crew room door and a few panes have cracked no one home, has the base been sold off by the MoD?
Hopefully it means that Danny is being cosseted at home by the log fire whilst his uniform is being pressed.
To return to a pet issue of mine, after a fairly contentious exchange I have now located the crash site of the Tempest V JN759 flown by Flt Sgt Donald John Mackerras RAAF of 3 Squadron near my village on Sunday afternoon 6th August 1944 on an anti Diver patrol with S/Ldr R Dryland. Seems a proximity fused AA shell damaged his aircraft and caused a fatal crash landing.
Mackerras may be related to the other notable Australians of that name.
I'm hopeful that a commemoration service can be arranged for the 75th anniversary next year, which needs liaising with RAF and RAAF representatives, and potentially his relatives.
The Australian War Memorial hosted a Last Post ceremony for him in 2016 and will be projecting his name on the facade of the Memorial in mid December.
That should bring this thread back onto Page 1!
