Awesome,
Any chance of posting?
My Grandad was in Guadacanal also, he was a marine whom helped take and defend the field.
Cheers

I have a photo of the hudson flying over the outer Marlborough Sounds. Taken about 1942.

dsb Stuart is a mate of mine I will see if I can get a couple of photos from him to scan and show him how to put them on here as he isn't quite up with the know how yet of getting them on here.
