Hi Lizzy, are you related to Trevor Finch? I was in contact with him about 4 years ago and we exchanged some wonderful stories. I would love to see the letter yes pls.

Thanks for taking the time to get in touch!

RachelSalt I've only just seen your post, many years after you posted it. I tried to send you a private message, but it says you've exceeded your stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until you clear some space. In any case, you're right, the man in the photo is definitely Harald Seabrook-Smith; he was my maternal grandfather too! He died when I was young too, but I have quite a lot of information about him (I inherited all his papers and slides from his very extensive world travels from his days in civil aviation and then as a tour director).

Perhaps if an admin person sees this, they could help me try and private message RachelSalt?

Unfortunately RachelSalt logged out 7 minutes after her one and only post and has not signed in again since. A 'newbie' has only room for one PM in their inbox so it must be clear to receive anything.

You can always contact Admin and explain what you've said here, and see if they can email her on your behalf.

Thanks for this Senior Pilot I've tried asking admin if they can contact RachelSalt on my behalf, but to no avail sadly (initially I was told that she couldn't receive PMs because she hadn't posted enough messages, so might be deemed a 'scamster', and when I followed this up was told that she had requested her email be 'invisible'). So it seems the mystery of my grandpa's other family will likely never be solved, and, indeed, that RachelSalt will remain ignorant about her grandfather, even though I could tell her all about him. It seems odd that she used this platform precisely to request information about her grandfather, but that the platform's rules are such that this cannot be done. How frustrating!
