[phas3e]

Hi

I've had a request from a friend overseas whos interested in Codes and serials for 486 while at Vokel during March 1945.

I cant help him much atm as im at work and will have to go to the library for their copy of 'Wild winds' but thinking about it now im not sure if that even had codes or serials in the back.

Does anyone have any documents or info that could help

Cheers
Travis

Interesting stuff.

I know jim Sheddan very well - he was the last CO of 486. Jim just turned 90 and is in very good health - he digs the garden, paints the house and make a mean home brew. If anybody would like to visit him to discuss this topic - it can be arranged. he lives near Auckland. Let me know
