Hi all:
17 Air Observers "passed out" from RNZAF Course No. 9 in October 1940 and on November 8 embarked on the Maunganui in Wellington for Egypt and the ME Pool where they were assigned out among the various squadrons for service in the Middle East and the Western Desert. I am working on a write-up about the 17, where they grew up, where they served, what happened to them during the war, and for those that come back, their life post-war life. I am looking to make contact with the family/extended family of those shown below. If anyone knows of any possible contacts for these airmen, I would very much appreciate the information. Cheers.
Thomas Edward Armstrong NZ401429
Dennis Keeble Carey NZ401432
David Aubrey Connolly NZ401457
Tom Dunn NZ401459
John Alfred Edwards NZ401435
Samuel John Luke NZ401438
Valentine George Morris NZ401441
Robert Paterson Reid NZ401445
Cyril James Rudge NZ401215
Kennedy Charles Wallace NZ401468
Albert Gordon Boswell Williams NZ401450
