Default G'day from Down Under

G'day,

I thought another recruit from the land 'down under' might not go astray. Having perused a number of your forums, there are some great discussions going on.

I have a particular interest in the stories of aircrew from WWII and have been honoured to interview a number of them over the years. My main goal is to record their stories for their families, whilst some find their way to print. Most notably I came to know SQNLDR K.B. McGlashan AFC who quite literally flew from Dunkirk to D-Day. His remarkable story ultimately became my first book.

I look forward finding my way around your great forum.

Cheers

Owen

Thumbs up Re: G'day from Down Under

A very warm welcome to the Forum, Owen - and many congratulations on your first book. I don't have a copy yet but noticed it mentioned in a recent issue of FlyPast.

I'm quite certain that any contribution you'd like to make here will be met with keen interest by our Worldwide membership !
