Thetis Connections to Momentous History

Reminiscences from Keith Rush

In WW II, my Dad, a Canadian born in Vancouver, flew bombers (Handley Page Halifax III) for the 420 Snowy Owls Squadron (RCAF) out of Lincolnshire England.

My Mum was born in Brighton and was in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force.

They met, fell in love, and were married in 1949. They moved to Vancouver for a while right after they were married and shortly after that to the Nanaimo River logging camp.

I was born 3 years later (in the old Nanaimo General Hospital) and exactly 7 years after VE day (8 May). I can only imagine how excited they were at that coincidence!
