Typhoon Warfare

<P>I have recently got the book, you have to contact BluePrint, 225 Ingles Street</P>
<P>Port Melbourne, Victoria 3207 Autralia Telephone (03)96452722</P>
<P>It is well worth reading.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Furthermore the Squadron's ORBs are now open to anyone who wishes to read them and if they are interested the person to contact is Typhoon Historian Chris Thomas.&nbsp; I can send his address if of interest.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I was interested as I was in love with another pilot in 175 SQ a South African, Capt. Maurice Hopkins.&nbsp; He committed suicide after being home for a few months.&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I understand most of those boys are now between 88 to 90+ and very few are still alive-&nbsp; But if there is anyone who still remembers him and can tell me something of his life at the time, I would be grateful for information. </P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>All I have left is his letters from the front, his identification bracelet and sweetheart's wings.&nbsp; All his next of kin have also passed away.</P>
