Kingsley Austen - RRS Shackleton / RRS John Biscoe - 1960 approx. I am trying to help an elderly lady locate her brother whom she lost contact with about 40 years ago. Some of the info she has been able to provide is that he was a Royal Navy officer, on RRS Shackleton and RRS John Biscoe, destination Port Lockroy in Grahamland. His name was Kingsley Austen, known as Bunny and was a radio electrician around 1960 when he was 25 years old. The last she heard was that he went to live in Brisbane, Australia and she is desperate to know what happened to him. Regards, Lucy Ashmore Sussex June 2011
