My father was in 77 squadron during that period. He reckoned he drew the best gig. He flew the squadrons DC3 between Australia and Japan (Iwakuni) for the duration of operations. He always said both the Mustang and the Meteor were so outclassed by the MIG you were always fighting a losing battle.

On a side note of any of you remember Penny Spence on channel 9??? Children's programmes her father was Lou Spence, on of those shot down in 77 squadron.

Somewhere in our family photographs I have several from the period, I'll try and find them
