There was a Kenneth James McKenzie serving in the RAAF, demobed on 30 October 1945. Unfortunately a LAC at 3AD on discharge, so very unlikely to be your man.

Errol Correcting my earlier response, above. NZ413442 is actually Kenneth James M acKenzie who was killed on air ops with 218 on 8 Mar 45. I suspect that the correct spelling of Goody is actually Goodey. Errol |

Many thanks Errol, his AWMM entry confirms that's the correct spelling and person, plus a photo!
Cheers, Chris
