Hi My name is Clive Wawn. Born 1950 and currently living in Geelong, Victoria, Australia. I am a practising Ambulance Paramedic but have career backgrounds in Farming, sheep shearing, farm contracting and have numerous other interests - too many! My father flew Spitfires and Kittyhawks with 452 Squadron RAAF (Britain) and 76 Squadron RAAF resp.and was part of the small defence force in Milne Bay along with 75 Squadron, Australian and American Infantry, Anti-aircraft Regiments, etc who put up a magnificent fight equalling the Kokoda Campaign and just as important in the defense of Australia. It was the first time the Japanese had been defeated on land for some 700 years. I have developed a considerable interest in his exploits during the 3 years he flew and wonder sometimes how he survived and hence my existence. I also have most of his original memorabilia and books to draw reference from. Cheers Clive Wawn
