Hi guys

I know this is a long shot posting this here but I am trying everything as you never know. I am hunting air and ground crew veterans from WWII who live in Western Australia.

Like I said, a long shot as I know most of you are in the northern hemisphere. However, if you have ever corresponded with a veteran down here, please let me know. I am trying to record as many memoirs as possible before we lose them forever. Naturally, most of the contacts I have are RAAF and RAF but I will talk to anyone!

I have an airfield guard who looked after our Spitfires up north who is keen to speak to me plus I am on the trail of two gunners, one of whom flew in USAAF and RAAF B-24s. A friend has also reminded me that his Dad was a fitter on heavy bombers in North Africa.

This is another of my hare-brained schemes but it is actually getting off the ground!

Any advice also greatly received.

Cheers

Andy

I don't have any helpful information but am curious about your project. As you may or may not know I have produced the first WIX podcast and it includes veterans stories. If you want a venue for getting one or more of the stories you are recording to the public maybe we should talk. Send me a PM if your interested.
