The members of the team which located the crash site of the SAAF Puma shot down during Op Uric in September 1979, are attempting to contact the next of kin of all of the victims, to inform them of the discovery of the Puma crash site near Mapai, and of the fact that we have erected a cross on the graves discovered there.
Could I please ask you to appeal to your ORAFs members for any information that will assist in contacting family members or friends of these men.
We are still attemping to locate family or friends of the following men:
Flight Sergeant Dick Retief: SAAF
2nd Lieutenant Bruce Fraser Burns: Rh Engineers
Sergeant Michael Alan Jones: Rh Engineers
Trooper Jacobus Alwyn Briel: RLI
Trooper Mark Jeremy Crow: RLI
Trooper Steven Eric King: RLI
Trooper David Rex Prosser: RLI
Any assistance in contacting the families fo these men will be most welcome.
Many thanks for your assistance with this project.
Please mail Neill Jackson on neillj@vodamail.co.za and copy orafs11@gmail.com with any information that you think may assist to locate these people.
A request to other Rhodesian Associations please consider distrubuting this appeal to their members.
