Can anyone here please help with information on WWII fighter pilot and ace David Franklin Livingstone DFC?
Dave Livingstone grew up and went to school here in Cambridge, and I would really like to find out more about him for my website. Also Michael Tuck who knew him is also keen to discover more about him.
What we'd really like to find is the following:
- his flying logbook - does anyone have any idea where this might be?
- - his two sons. We do not know their names but he and his wife Stella had two sons
Can anyone please help? Thanks.

Yes thanks, I'm aware of that, Ian who was then at the NZFPM helped me with my page. They don't have his logbook by the way and nor does Wigram.

I think the P J Lamason in the above photograph taken at 3 FTS Ohakea was the hero of the recent revelations on the "Lost airmen of Buchenwald", Phil Lamason (think I have that right). And that is a really great photograph of Dave Livingstone (and unknown Aussie) in the desert too!

Thanks, I had seen a poor copy of that cuppa tea one before but it's nice to see a decent copy. I thin you'd be right there David, that will be Phil Lamason. A lot of the names in that class photo are familiar to me actually.
