Hello,

My parents and I used to live in Canowindra, so I made many trips to Cowra in my time there. I think I may have made one visti to the JWC when I was young,and my mum showed me where the POW camp was.

Dad was in the R.S.L. (he was an aircraft engineer in Korea).

G'Day, Your message is very interesting due to my family connections with the area.

And particularly as you say yopur father worked as an aircraft engineer in Korea. My uncle also was there as a Sargent working on the aircraft. So much so I have print No 1986 (of 500) of "the RAAF's Operation over north Korea 1950" this print signed by the pilots of trhe palnes in the print. He also was in other areas with 77Sqn.

Verticalsmurf, you must have got lost and not looked in the right area as it sure is better than you describe. Have a look at the clip again.
