Australian forces in Europe after Greece and Crete
Re: Australian forces in Europe after Greece and Crete
Not sure if anyone mentioned 454 RAAF Squadron in Italy 1943-45. Also 451 and 458 squadrons in southern France in August 1944.
Another one - 459 operated around Greek islands 1942-45.

Hi Gambardier,
You've got me thinking now. Unfortunately Grandad died at the age of just 62 in 1965, well before I was born so I couldn't ask him about it - all the stories and mementos have been passed down. I'll check it out with the rest of the family and inform you once I double check.
Cheers,
Adam.

It was great to see the Australian veterans being honoured during the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of D-Day - indeed they had seen action in the air force. Excellent ceremony and well done to all involved.

Keep an eye out, Harry. Worth watching again. Along with Jim Martin, the American paratrooper who recreated his jump 70 years later, at the age of 93. Great effort!
