Royal Commission
I recall seeing a TV re-enactment of the Royal Commission looking into the Darwin 19th Feb raids. The RAAF base or area commander was interrogated , the authorities were looking for a scapegoat .
My father witnessed the raid at close quarters, being a crew member of HMAS Playtpus. Only ever got little bits n pieces out of him . He did tell me there was a dead nurse in the water. Apparently he wasn't on board when the raid began. Many of the veterans wanted to forget it all , anything to do with the war. But he did have fond memories of the 'Plats' as he called the ship.
