Our father was brought up by his mother alone. He had a very interesting life. He travelled far and wide with his mother. His mother was a popular actress of her time and was featured on several antique real-photo postcards. Dad was educated privately in both Australia, England and Scotland before the war. Once he joined the 458 Squadron, Grandma followed him from Australia to United Kingdom and anywhere else she was able to go to be near him.
