After more details of the follow accident that resulted in the death of Australian ace Virgil Paul BRENNAN. Perhaps Dean?
Any way all I have is that Virgil Brennan was killed in an accident (aircraft?) at Garbutt strip, Townsville on 13 June 1943 when he was on his way to join 452 Sqn at Strauss. I'm after any more details. Thanks, Gordon |
