<description><![CDATA[Thanks for this contribution Doug. I&#39;m meanwhile doing some research into FAA&#39;s use of Corsair in operations against Tirpitz during 1944 and in doing so one&#39;s immediately struck by extreme youth of the pilots &amp; aircrew, particularly, looking back thru&#39; prism of time using today&#39;s standards. I often think it&#39;s not unlike handing the keys of, say, a Lambourhini to a newly qualified driver, letting them loose on a it &amp; hoping that it&#39;ll end well ! Then throw in some distinctly challenging handling characteristics and effort of trying to take off or land back on a more or less rectangular length of steel that&#39;s pitching &amp; rolling around with multiple obstructions in close proximity and wide expanse of ocean to splosh into if things go wrong not to mention possible combat damage or injuries plus fatigue then their courage, determination &amp; gallantry is certainly all the more admirable !]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My father also flew with 1845 at Nowra. Joining the squadron mid July 1945 after it was reformed, he never saw action. I am still in awe at a 19 year old flying a front line fighter, let alone putting it down on a carrier.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My father was a Corsair pilot with 1845 and trained at RNAS Brunswick and was on HMS Slinger until 1845 was disbanded and he was sent to 1834 on Victorious where he served the rest of the war. Married my mother in Sydney. I met S/LT Baldwin, Leddy and Showell in the mid 70&#39;s all mentioned for having &#39;incidents&#39;]]></description>
