BOAC Hurn 1945

Hi, Interested to read your post re your father being a steward on the 'Eastern' flights out of Hurn. According to my mother my Dad flew from there on the first flight[s] to Aus after the war, later flying to India,Rhodesia and Egypt etc. He did talk to me also about flyingboats to S Africa but whether he was passenger or crew I cannot be certain. He was Radio Officer. During the war he was seconded with BOAC to Leuchars to do night flights to Sweden. Alas he died back in 1969 but it would be great to pick up a thread somewhere. Sorry I didnt see your post before.
