1 Death in Winter
Manage episode 377534779 series 3513355
January, 1943 my father had recently arrived at RAF Habbaniya, Iraq as a member of the Communications Flight based there. But settling in wasn’t easy.
It’s here that he started his diary, which very quickly highlights death is ever present - on this occasion his Squadron Leader George Milnes (RNZAF) goes missing with some high profile passengers on board his plane.
