Thanksforyourservice Podcast 32 RAAF Flying Officer Hector 'Hec' Harrison

Welcome to podcast number 32 for Thanks for your Service.  Thanksforyourservice is a news and information resource and its focus is on historical topics relating to the Australian military. For Anzac day 2020, Australia Post released a commemorative stamp issue.  This stamp issue features oil on canvas paintings that were inspired by the events of the two World Wars on the home front and in combat overseas.  Stella Bowen was employed as an Australian official war artist during World War II. Bomber crew is a moving tribute to six Australians and one Englishman comprising a Lancaster bomber crew of No. 460 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force. On 28 April 1944, the night after Bowen completed the initial sketches for the painting, the airmen were reported missing over Germany. One of the crew that went missing was  RAAF Flying Officer Hector 'Hec' Harrison. We speak with Hec’s cousin Rob Trevan. We are keen to hear your feedback. Leave a comment on our Facebook page.
