Does anyone here know any de Havilland DH98 Mosquito veterans living in New Zealand? I am trying to put together a list for a veteran gathering later this year.
Either wartime or postwar aircrew and groundcrew - all are welcome for the list.
I have a list of names and contacts already, but there may be some out there who I'm not yet
Please email me at dave_daasnz@hotmail.com with any names, addresses, emails or phone numbers you may have for veterans. Thanks.

I have been given a list of No. 75 Squadron and NZ Mosquito Ferry Flight aircrew from Stewart Boys. most of the 66 men on the list are dead. A few are already on my list. But these names I cannot confirm to be either living or deceased. Can anyone please confirm if you know, and email or PM me their contact details if they are alive?

P F Prichard

B Cobcroft
D A Duthie

R Greig
Colin Francis Laloli, MBE, DFC

Some may have nicknames on the list rather than actual given names. Even if you don' know their status and you know a full name rather than the initials or nickname above, please let me know. Cheers. I hope we can find some of these guys alive still for the reunion.
