S for Sugar

Several days ago, I received some on-line information about my late father's WW2 service in the RAAF. He was a bomb-aimer in 463/467 Squadron flying on sorties in Avro Lancaster over Germany. He flew several missions in the famous PO -S, better known as "S for Sugar" which flew over 130 sorties and survived. Thousands of air-crew lost their lives, and my father survived the war. Today I had the experience of speaking over the 'phone to his navigator now 89 years old.

Yesterday, I attended the Palm Sunday service and march at Parramatta. I don't want to see anyone going to war and suffering from war again, so making and keeping a just peace is a high priority.
