My master copy already has Park as 100sq. Seems the sort didn't pick it up. I have Park as 418562.

You're Top Poster: #9 | Hi again, I referred to the excellent book, "Song of the Beauforts" By Colin M. King. He cites ORB records and the AWM as his source. Cheers Owen Quote:

You're Top Poster: #9 | "Song of the Beauforts" is very well put together. A mixture of facts, stats and interesting narratives. Mr. King served with 100 Squadron, so he knows what he's talking about. I highly recommend it if you ever see a copy. Cheers Owen |

You're Top Poster: #9 | Hi again all, Just for those who receive the excellent AWM magazine, 'WARTIME', there is a feature on the Beaufort in New Guinea and a picture of FLTLT F.O. Smith and the ill-fated crew is included. Regards, Owen |

You're Top Poster: #2 | I knew there was some link to your stories, Owen, when I read that article but I couldn't place it. The hang-up was what reminded me. That issue was very WWI heavy. I started ploughing through it again last night.
