Re: Looking for the family of a NZ Mosquito Navigator, Rex Frederick Cottrell
Thanks for your answers chaps,
I dropped "messages in a bottle" on other forums including RNZAF forum, I did had some answers but I could not reach Cottrell's family. Anybody living near Auckland, that could help me ? Another picture of the door (profile) is attached.. Thanks GC Last edited by gilles collaveri; 11th July 2017 at 13:50. |
