My name is Peter Dunn. My father-in-law, Jan (John) Goulevitch flew with 460 Squadron and flew one mission in "G" for George.   While he was still alive, I was intrigued with the various stories that he told me about his exploits during his time with 460 Squadron RAAF.

I would be very interested to receive any stories or recollections by former Air Crew and Ground Crew of their time in "G" for George or with 460 Squadron RAAF.  I am also interested in borrowing any photographs of "G" for George or 460 Squadron RAAF that I can scan to place on this Home Page.
