Hi Delmenhorst,

I have refrained from responding up to now as I really have no more information to add other than what other researchers have supplied already. I am sure Lewis1 is sincere in what he is posting as it matches exactly the information published in a local Australian book called 'Fly' by Michael Veitch. This is collection of stories of Australian Air Arm veterans. At the time of the interview, Peter Mehrtens was quite old and frail, so everything Lewis1 has said matches up with this history. So it is a case of 'Don't shoot the messenger'.

Regards

Michael
