Hi,
My father, Doug Nicholls DFC flew Hurricanes with 258 Squadron during WW2, it was originally a NZ squadron and NZ pilots included Flt/Lt D.J.T Sharp, Flt/LtV.B. de la Perelle, F/O H.A. Dobbyn, P/O B.McAlister and P/O Cam White. Dad also had lucky contact with John Vibert in Java. When he died in 2016, Dad left the basis of his autobiography which I have now completed. I am not publishing it but have offered it here in the UK as a free download (I am not interested in making money from the bravery of all concerned) I have been helped in this project by RAF Montrose Heritage centre which is a registered charity. If any of your members would like a free copy contact me at chrisbn52@gmail.com and I’ll email it to you. In a security conscious world, Michael Brewis at RAF Montrose can vouch for my credibility, he also helped put the book together. I may be biased, but I really think it’s a good read!
Many thanks
Chris Nicholls
