Description

Two RAAF boys from Kalgoorlie, WA, present themselves to a BBC studio to broadcast home on a programme in the BBC Pacific Service. Shown are 406423 Pilot Officer (later Flying Officer [FO]) Colin Levings, (still wearing his tropical kit) and FO Ken Willis (probably 400427 Flight Lieutenant Kenneth Creswick Willis) both of whom had just arrived from Burma, where they had been engaged in Army Air Operations in an RAF Blenheim Squadron. In the broadcast they told the story of some of the experiences they had met with in Burma. FO Levings was later lost on operations over the United Kingdom on 21 March 1944..
