Hi I'm just trying to find info on my grandfather. His name was Hilton Charles hewett and his service number was 32977. I know that he was in the RAAF and his plane was shot down over the jungles somewhere but he jumped out as the plane was going down. Any info or pictures would be great. Thankyou

You'll be able to get his full RAAF service records and probably a mug-shot of him. Try here
