In 2004 I graduated with a Bachelor of Information Technology from Charles Sturt University (www.csu.edu.au). At about age 10 I became interested in Second World War aviation - mostly that of the European Theatre - after hearing stories from an uncle who trained with the RAAF as part of the Empire Air Training Scheme in Canada.

My main interest is the Australian involvement in the Second World War in the Pacific, as well as the involvement of ALL air forces in that theatre.

I visited my first wreck site, that of Beaufort A9-228, in November 2000 and have been obsessed ever since. Future trips will include Papua New Guinea and Japan, as well as significan sites within Australia (Darwin and Broome included).

I am currently working for the Australian Taxation Office's Technical Helpdesk in Canberra, and in my spare time do volunteer work at the Australian War Memorial. In the little time I have left, I am attempting to catalogue all aircraft losses of the Pacific war, as well as research details of RAAF airmen captured by the Japanese.
