It's an area close to my own heart as my Dad flew 201 fighter missions in Korea with 77 Squadron RAAF. (He also served in WWII as a Commando in New Guinea.)

The RAAF in Korea and the Gloster Meteor are two of my fields of interest, so this forum is great to see.

Here's a snap of Dad in a Meteor, Kimpo 1952.

Cheers

Thanks for the compliment Owen.

Glad to see our ideas for a differing format is being accepted.


Cheers

Geoff

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

 What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:
