Re: Not RAF but FAA
Write too their local papers, local churches, trace their family tree using ancestry.com, create a website of your own with a firm reason why you want their loved ones photos, for a book, article, commercial effort or free publication. Most of the people with photos may be elderly and wont be reading TOCH. Need to be more active than passive to gather photos.

Re: Not RAF but FAA
Many thanks Mr Burke and Mr Burke!
Yes, I will be searching local newspapers on my next visit to the National Newspaper Library in London - I've done this in the past with some good results. Whilst I have your attention, gentlemen, can you point me in the direction of a photo of LtCdr Bill Bruen DSC, a Dublin man from, I believe, a well known family? Cheers Brian |
