Thank you for the reminder that the last people who know what is going on in a war are the very people that are fighting it, Danny! Even the immediate post war accounts left more questions than answers. No doubt there will be many more t's and i's to get the full treatment in many more years time before we know as much as is ever likely to be known.

However, what we will then lose is the direct evidence from those, like you, who were there. Accounts such as JD's will always be treasured and revered of course, but they can no longer be added to. In contrast, your readiness to answer our incessant questions with the most detailed and precise answers means that we are forever being updated on the experiences of an operational RAF pilot flying in support of 14th Army in Burma.
"SEAC News" (?) air dropped monthly by the "SEAC Anson").
Who knew that before? Not me. Wikki offers no clue, but does instead come up with Radio SEAC:-

Did you ever tune into it, Danny? I see that two of the announcers were a David Jacobs and a Desmond Carrington. I wonder how things turned out for them?
