Re: 165 Sqn claim/s, 20/3/44

MargaretH,
Thank you for your correction. The middle name of Mitchell is what appeared in the London Gazette for his DFC. The RAAF Nominal Role however gives his middle name as Melvill, so that is what I will use.

Enjoy!

Frank.

Hello Chris,
Yes, I am related, and would appreciate any information/photos you could share. I have been trying to research information for awhile and only came across this site recently.

Enjoy the day,
Margaret

Re: 165 Sqn claim/s, 20/3/44

Hi Margaret,

In case you weren't aware, Haslope's service file is online at the NAA. It includes his DFC citation, and a small personal photo, in its 47 pages.

'Spitfire, Mustang and Kittyhawk in Australian Service' by Stewart Wilson has
more photos, including four frames of gun camera footage from his interception of the Me 163, and a pic of the a/c that he flew on that op.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Bruce
