Thank you Rod and thank you Rose, for your kind assistance with Chippendall. This came about in researching an Australian bomber crew who perished in 1942. I had made contact with distant family of one of them, who had shared a smashing photo of a young man proudly showing off his motorbike, and this quest that you helped with has confirmed identity. You might care to have a look at www.toowongwest.org.au and check out the story of Thomas Hobgen, to check out the research project. Whilst two of the crew were Bundaberg lads, Tom wasn't, but (though I am a distant pom, ignorant of the greater Brisbane area) I assume that 460 kms would not be the end of the world in Aussie terms. Once again, thank you for your kindness. Cheers Dave [email protected]
