Hi Denis

 

It is an important step to register the existing memorial, and I'll get back to you on that.

 

Thank you again.

 

Kind regards

Hi Jane

 

Doing this work I keep thinking what went through their minds when the wing fell off knowing that they were less than 10 seconds from death.

 

We are hoping to upgrade this memorial as it is a bit lost at the moment.

 

Cheers

 

Denis

Hi Denis

 

Wow. What a story. 

 

Thank you for the updated veteran list. It looks great.

 

I will hopefully get to this next week. Sorry for the delay, there is a backlog due to demand around Anzac Day. Let me know if you have a deadline.

 

Again thank you for your contribution.

 

Kind regards

 

Jane

Hi Jane

 

You may have received a reply, however, I have sent it again as my Outlook could have failed to send message.

 

The latest version I updated should be correct.

 

The memorial is on the cnr of Clifton Avenue and Lucasville Road Glenbrook NSW 2773.

RAAF Dedication date should be 24-3- 1994.

 

If these two items are correct then we a right to go.

 

Briefly the flight was a medical evacuation from RAAF Navigation School Parkes to Mascot. The Avro Anson plane A4-5 suffered a port wing failure over Glenbrook and it crashes

near the memorial killing all on board.

 

Regards

 

Denis Bainbridge
