Ans = Keith 'Bluey' Truscott
Truscott was born in Prahran, Victoria, on 17 May 1916. . He attended Melbourne High School, where he captained the First XI for the school in cricket. While there, he mentored the young Keith Miller, who entered the First XI at the age of 14 and went on to be regarded as Australia's finest all round cricketer. After completing his schooling Truscott worked as a school teacher and clerk.
Truscott was later made acting squadron leader and in 1942, Truscott was posted back to Australia where he joined 76 Squadron, flying Kittyhawks.By this stage Truscott was, along with Clive Caldwell, one of the most famous RAAF pilots.
Truscott's squadron was posted to Milne Bay, Papua and played a significant role in the Battle of Milne Bay where he was mentioned in dispatches for his actions. 76 Squadron was later transferred to Darwin, Northern Territory, for a time, and then Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia. Truscott was killed in an accident in Exmouth Gulf on 28 March 1943.

...........................................................

Ha! Ha ........ At around 2:00am it occurred to me that the answer must be one of the Dunbar brothers (probably Hughie) but my pre dawn research didn't turn up anything to suggest that they might have been 'high flyers' ie. it's not just the loss of brain cells (which I can ill afford to lose at my time of life) but also loss of sleep. Demonland is ruling and ruining my life! ^_^^_^

You nailed it Josh! It was going to be a complex alpha/numeric test.

Clue # 1: My family name starts with the first letter of the English alphabet.

Clue # 2: The second letter is equivalent to 50 in Roman numerals.

Clue # 3: The third letter is the same as 5 in Roman numerals.

Clue # 4: Subtract the answer to clue #3 from from clue #2 and divide by 3 to obtain my guernsey number.

Should we be thankful he wasnt scorching the site?. Perhaps we put it down to the Scottish accent he has picked up on his travels recently?

Close but no cigar. Perhaps instead of spending your time doing history researches, :) you could use it to sharpen up on your psychic ablities?

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
