Hey Temujin, Thanks very much for the info, as I read the papers that you put on, it started to sound familiar so I looked further into it, and the last time you were in Arizona, you had helped me with another American involved in the air collision. A.J. Lebella, who hailed from Port Chester, New York was also in the same aircraft as LAC Holmes. Thanks again !
Cheers
George

Your welcome
When I started searching for the info, I saw P/O Labella was an American and remembered we had worked on him previous.
