Mixed collection again this month, digs. We still haven't heard from many navy or air force types and stocks of pics are getting low. Stan Wilkinson, R.S.A. will take any you have, or send them direct to "Photo News".

This pic will bring back memories for Snow Campbell, Ron Davies, Athol Graham, Max Greenslade, Des Hargreaves, Charlie Kidson, Vic Mabin, Jack Mant, Dennis Pharazyn and Red Webber. The aircraft are Brewster Buffaloes and the men named flew and maintained them until all were knocked out of the air by the Japanese before the fall of Singapore, 20 years ago last month. Pic by Max Greenslade.

The Andes leaving Lyttelton, 1940. Jim Rait, Nelson, standing on rail with arm up, did not think at the time that a year later he would be in a German P.O.W. hospital. That's Jim (bottom left) seated extreme left when the pic was taken at Hildburghausen.
