 This site is dedicated to Richard Kukura and Tom Hulme and all the brave men of the RAAF and RAF who risked their lives for us and for the freedom of all nations and to The People of Templeport and Corlough who showed generosity and kindness to Two strangers in trouble |

I have attempted to include on this site all
the information available about this incident. Sorry, I haven't any more for the moment, the work is ongoing as is the local research. I would appreciate anything you might be able to offer by way of correction or otherwise. |
This mini-web site was designed by
with much help and assistance from Richard Kukura and members
of his family without whom the site wouldn't exist. Thanks to Liz & Alex Rothwell, Tommy Hulme's daughter & grandson who provided photographs and text. |
The research was done by John Patterson,
Dennis Burke, David Earl, myself and a large number of local people
to whom much gratutude is due. Please see the About
& Thanks page |
