An Australian archivist is hoping Pacific islands communities may be able to help add to an archive she is compiling of a New Zealand Air Force flying boat squadron which operated in the Pacific in WWII.

Jenny Scott is the daughter of Flight Lieutenant Alistair Scott, the adjutant of the RNZAF's number 6 Squadron, which flew long-range missions from Fiji, Tonga and Solomon Islands. Ms Scott has put photos collected by her father of the squadron's experiences up on the internet. She's hoping older people in the Pacific may be able to identify some of the people in the photos.
