Trying to find...
From time to time I get emails from people trying locate ex FIDS, these people are often not ex-fids themselves, so I thought I'd add another option for you to post your message and add your email address for contact. If you would like to use this option, then use the registration form, but include your own name and email.

John Phillip Lehen - Biscoe - Years: late 1940's, early 1950's.  Trying to research information about my grandfather and trace some of his fellow crew members and ex-FIDS and share some photos, Samantha Collins email.
