Hi,

Linklater’s A705 casualty file has been digitised and is open for web inspection

The NAA times out on direct URL links but if you put the following:

http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/

Click search as guest

Basic search

In the keywords:

428723 Linklater

Then click on the icon for a sheaf of pages in his A705 it will open up.

Page 32 – 35 are the Form 765 crash report.

Regards
Ross
