Kyt, Keith Thiele, still alive apparently and living in Australia, is the cousin of Max Lambert. I've just seen reference to him having the DFC and two Bars.

Had a look for a Kiwi ace by the name of Harvey but it occurred to me it was a personal letter so it was more likely his first name. This chap fits but I'll have to check when I get home (not that I'll be able to confirm for a while!).
