Far Away Places with Queer Sounding Names.

Ian BB,

Your Dad seems to have ranged over a wide range of Northern (British) India, specialising in the old NW Frontier of the Raj (my Dad was born (1875) to an Army family in Rawalpindi). The Fairchild Argus I never met (indeed, it was news to me that the RAF had them at all). From what Wiki tells me, they would have been at least as good, and probably better, than the Stinson Reliants which the Army used for Casevac in Burma.

I flew (only as a pax) out there in the Anson and Expeditor, and would imagine your Dad would have made the latter his choice if he had the option !

Danny.
