Re: F/Sgt Charles McCormac's rescue by RAAF Catalina 16/9/42

It seems to me that 11 and 20 Sqn were busy at the time in New Guinea/Solomon area. A quick check of their ORB (available online) show no activity in NEI area for both units (but I may have missed a detachment not located chronogically in the ORB file).

Two other possibilities:
1) a RAF Catalina coming from Ceylon/India ?
2) an ex Dutch aircraft flying with Australian or Dutch/Australian crew from Australia.
