Sunday afternoon next
Arrangements have been made for Mr. J. Penn Hughes, one of Sydney's leading organists, to give a recital at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church
next Sunday afternoon at three o'clock.
Mr. Hughes has selected a very interesting programme of favourite works, and several choral numbers will be given by the Church Choir.
Those who attend will have a most enjoyable experience, as the recital
promises to be one of the best that has so far been arranged.

ORGAN RECITAL
Enjoyable Afternoon at St. Andrews
There was a good attendance at the organ and choral recital given at the Presbyterian Church of St. Andrew yesterday afternoon. The organist was Mr. J. Penn Hughes, from the "Astra" Theatre, Parramatta, and his programme, if somewhat "more popular than is often the case in organ recitals, had the merit of containing works that are well-known, melodious and generally appreciated. His opening numbers were "Rustle of Spring", (Linding), appropriately selected, and Dvorak's favourite "Humoresque." The Kreisler group followed, featuring "Liebesfreud," "Caprica Viennois" and "Schou Rosaria" - three pieces that have always an immediate appeal. Chopin was represented by his A major "Polonaise," in which Mr. Hughes effectively, brought out the contrasting mortial themes, and Mendlessohn by his immortal "Spring Song." His concluding numbers were Schubert's ''Marche Militaire" - a decided favourite at organ recitals, and "The Lost Chord" by Sullivan, which it is pleasing to hear revived. As Mr. Hughes is a theatre organist, his technique is along lines that differ somewhat from those adopted by church organists, and for this reason his recital was found interesting and enjoyable, and it showed up new capacities in the organ.
The Choir contributed four vocal numbers that provided a contrast to the instrumental items, and were much appreciated. These comprised "Open Thy Gates" by Harrison, - "I Waited for the Lord" by Mendelssohn, (solos by Mesdames Welch and Murray), Purcell's "Thou Knowest Lord," and Bach's popular chorale "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." Accompaniments were played by Mr. C. S. Daley, the hon. Church organist.

New Organist For Regent Theatre
To take over the post of organist at Hoyts Regent Theatre, in place of Mr Clarence Black, Mr. Penn Hughes arrived with Mrs. Hughes in the express from Melbourne yesterday. He will begin his duties tomorrow. Mr Hughes who was born in Adelaide, left here 12 years ago, after experience as an organist for silent films. His most recent engagement was with Hoyts Plaza Theatre, Sydney, before which he was organist at the Civic Theatre, Auckland. He said yesterday that the organ at the Civic was mounted on a narrow platform, which was raised on a hoist 40 feet in the air. "One felt more like an acrobat than an organist" he said. Mr Hughes said that he had not come to the Regent to educate people, but to entertain them. Most of his selections would be illustrated with screen slides - most of which he made in his spare I time as a hobby - and he would also sing through the microphone. He will appear at the afternoon and evening sessions. After his Adelaide engagement, Mr. Hughes has been engaged to return to the Civic in Auckland.

Young Adelaide Song-Writers' Success
Songs written by Adelaide's youngest song writing team- two youths aged 17 and 18 were broadcast by South Australian radio stations this week. The composers, Ern Wordley, who writes the words, and John Eddy, who supplies the music, are delighted with the success which has come their way in the last few days. They are at work on more songs. They wrote about eight numbers before much notice was taken of their work, although the Regent Theatre organist, Penn Hughes, showed an interest from the beginning of their venture. Penn Hughes, singing to his Wurlitzer accompaniment, recorded one or two songs for the young composers, but the records were not played in public. But now, within a week, 5AD and 5KA have broadcast 'Remember to Smile,' recorded from the Regent by a special hook-up with the 5AD studios. It was sung by Hilda Saffra, accompanied by Penn Hughes. Tomorrow at the Maughan Church Red Cross service two other songs by these young writers will be sung by Gwen Collett 'Shoulder to Shoulder' and 'When the Great Big World Wakes Up.'

Jack Penn Hughes originated from South Australia and was a professional theatre organist throughout the 1930s-1940s until the late 1950s featuring at many organs reviewed in this series, particularly in Sydney but also in New Zealand. He was also known as the "singing organist". His last theatre residence was at the Plaza theatre, Sydney. Despite his musical talents, many found him to be personally irascible, and in his dealings with redundant theatre organs he bordered on the unconscionable. In all some 12 organs were acquired by him and sold on to others, it being claimed that the purchasers did not always receive the organs they expected, Hughes having retained the best features for himself. He has also been identified in the late 1930s with involvement in the installation of instruments in theatres, eg the Astra theatre, Parramatta, and the Astra theatre, Drummoyne.
In about 1957 Hughes bought the 2/10 Christie organ from the Empire (later St. James) theatre, Dunedin, New Zealand, and in 1959 he acquired the 2/8 Wurlitzer organ (opus #748) previously in the Plaza theatre, Sydney. These two organs formed the basis of his residence organ, initially utilising the Empire Christie console. Later, Hughes acquired the 4 manual secondary console previously installed with the WurliTzer organ (opus #1987) of the State theatre, Melbourne, Victoria, and connected it to his residence organ. The sixteen ranks were as follow:
No. Rank Source
1, 2, 3; Tibia (metal), Melodia flute, Clarinet; Christie, Palatial theatre, Burwood NSW
4, 5, 6; Viol, Orchestral Oboe, Vox Humana; Christie, Empire theatre, Dunedin NZ
7, Kinura, WurliTzer, Kings Cross/Savoy Hurstville NSW theatres - (Congregational Church, Burwood NSW)
8, Oboe Horn, WurliTzer, Regent theatre, Wentworthville NSW
9, English Horn, Conagher, Southampton, England
10-16; Open Diapason, Tuba Horn, Clarinet, Viole d'Orchestre, Celeste, Flute;
Vox Humana, WurliTzer, Plaza theatre, Sydney NSW
The 2 manual Christie console was acquired by the Theatre Organ Society of Australia (Queensland Division) and rebuilt as a 3 manual console for its Christie organ (originally of 8 ranks from the Granada theatre, Maidstone, UK) and installed in the Kelvin Grove high school, Brisbane, Queensland.
The Hughes music room was 44ft deep and could hold 160 people. Concerts were given there by some notable theatre organists including Lyn Larsen, Tony Fenelon, and John Atwell.
In 1967 the organ was sold to Mike Pfizner for his residence in Darwin, Northern Territory. Although it was worked on by Mike and his friends for seven years, there were several severe floodings that prevented fulfilment of his dream. Mike offered the organ to the South Australian division of The Theatre Organ Society of Australia, and it was removed in November 1974 - only 4 weeks before the devastating Cyclone Tracey that demolished the Pfizner home.
The organ has since been installed in TOSA's Capri theatre, Goodwood (suburb of Adelaide) South Australia, and enlarged to 29 ranks. It is unique in having glass-fronted chambers to enhance the audience's
experience of organ presentations. 4/16 console at Darwin

Marjorie Louise HUGHES - my mother - recorded by Mary Anderson
Marjorie Louise was born at Cherry Gardens in December 1902, she was the eldest of seven children. At some time between 1904 and 1906 the family moved to the city and lived at various addresses at Payneham and North Adelaide. Marjorie trained as a primary school teacher. In those days that training was learning on the job alongside a qualified teacher in a classroom situation. In 1921 when she was considered 'trained' her career began and records show she taught as Nailsworth, Clare, Plympton, Waikerie, Nairne, Walkerville Schools, with a second and final stint at Nairne.
During her single days, Marjorie and a number of her teaching contemporaries travelled during their holidays to Sydney and Hobart. Under Events many of her old photographs are displayed; some taken at picnics in the hills and others as beach-belles at the seaside.
I believe Marj and Don Anderson met playing tennis - in any event they married on 10 April 1938 at Maughan Church Franklin Street Adelaide. For Marj this changed her life dramatically as in those days a female working in a Government position had to resign when they married!
They made their home at Price Weir Ave Allenby Gardens where they reared a family of three children. Marj and Don provided a home of love, nurture and care; being prosperous to that end, but few luxuries. Good work ethics and musical talents were encouraged.
Marj's 1938 Electoral Roll Card and her 1944 Identity Card are still extant and can be seen in the Events Gallery.
When her children married and moved away in the 1960s Marj and Don eventually sold their home of 30 years and bought a unit which was part of the Southern Cross homes at Portrush road. When Don died in 1976 Marj moved into full-time care at Southern Cross Homes at Marion road Plympton where she remained until her death in 1988.

General Notes:
1899 SA Births 649/469 ANDERSON Donald George, John ANDERSON, Mary GUNTER, Adelaide

Don was born at Goodwood; he went to Thebarton Primary School. His schooling finished when his father died in December 1913. He began work in an office but that job was curtailed when he turned 18y and was required for Military training.

(exerpt of letter written by Mary Ann Anderson (nee Gunter) to her son, Harry Anderson, 20 Nov 1917, image 313) -
"Don has to go into camp next month for 8 days; by rights he should be going Friday, but he can't be spared as two others are going from the same office, so he has to go with the Broken Hill & Port Pirie lot & he does not relish it".
(Don's children were unaware of his working in an office or that he had any WW1 Army Training, but it is likely that he did as he turned 18y on 5 Nov 1917.)

At the time of his first marriage Don was a driver delivering bread by horse and cart for Frank Leane, baker at Southwark.
At the time of his second marriage he was working for Frank Leane, but later, and closer to home he worked for Davies Coop Cotton Mill at Kilkenny, and later for G H Michell at Hindmarsh.
During his working life Donald was a member of the Rachabite Lodge which was to provide assistance to his family should anything unforseen happen to him.

Memories of my father, Donald George Anderson, written by George Ross ANDERSON (as at May 2013)
My first memories of my father were of him coming home at breakfast time from work (he worked three shifts) at the Cotton Mills - Davies Coop, opposite East Avenue and next to Kilkenny Primary School where we children Ross, Colin and Mary all eventually went. After some time he worked for G.H. Michell in Adams Street, Hindmarsh (only two shifts, I think). He was a bit of an old bower bird, he brought home all the bolts and nuts he found in the wool bales and stored them in an old aluminium pot, which we all used years later when we were old enough to buy cars.
Friday nights when he had been to the pub "The Hope Inn" he would sing coming up the side of the house and if tea was cold he would hear about it. On the weekends our families from both sides would come and visit, among them was his sister, Gell, (Jessie) and they would sit around the old wood stove drinking, she Sherry, him Port. How she drove home sometimes I'll never know. Her car was a late 40s Ford Anglia which had the same set of tyres on it after 40 years according to Dad.) After a big Sunday roast Dad would fall asleep at the dinner table and wake up when visitors came.
He always tried to grow some veggies in the backyard, some successfully, some not so, but we had trees, orange and lemon which we helped plant - I remember we saved up all our old used fruit tins and buried them where the trees were to be - there was also a large apricot, peach, quince, almond and fig trees. The almond trees were in the chook yard (½ doz. chooks for eggs), and an old septic tank upended for an incinerator. Grape vines grew on a trellis across the back of the house which provided shelter during the hot summer days.
As Colin and I were growing up we needed a separate bedroom to the one we all slept in, so we helped Dad enlarge and enclose the back verandah, clad, line and paint before moving in (it did not require Council approval because they never got to hear of it).
We also had a rainwater tank that leaked until Mum's brother-inlaw, Uncle Ken, rendered the inside which made it usable again - Dad was pleased, as in those days ordinary folk had to look out and do for themselves.
After we all married Dad never finished jobs that he started around the home, so he and Marj sold up and went to live in Southern Cross Homes on Port Rush Road, Evandale until he died on 27 March 1976, then Mum moved to Southern Cross Homes, pre-Nursing Home accommodation, at South Plympton.

Historical Record of 2/27th Battalion of Australian Army WW2 (Courtesy of Australian War Memorial)
2/27th Battalion
The headquarters of the 2/27 Battalion opened for the first time at Woodside in South Australia on 7 May 1940. On 19 October the battalion left Woodside, by train, for Melbourne where it sailed for overseas on 21 October. After a brief stop in India en-route, the 2/27th disembarked in Egypt on 24 November and moved straight to Palestine to complete its training.
As part of the 21st Brigade of the 7th Australian Division, the 2/27th's first operational assignment of war was to bolster the defences along the Egypt-Libya frontier against an expected German attack. It occupied positions at Maaten Bagush and Matruh throughout much of April and May 1941, before returning to Palestine in preparation for its first offensive operation - the invasion of Syria and Lebanon, which began on 8 June.
The 2/27th was employed in the drive north along the Lebanon coast but most of its operations were outflanking moves in the hills that edged the coastal plain. Its major actions were at Adloun on 11 June, Miyeoumiye on 13-14 June and around El Boum, as part of the battle of Damour, between 6 and 9 July. After the armistice of 12 July, the 2/27th remained in Lebanon as part of the Allied garrison until 11 January 1942.
After sailing from Egypt on 30 January 1942, the 2/27th disembarked in Adelaide on 24 March. The battalion's stay in Australia, however, was brief. On 14 August it arrived at Port Moresby in Papua, and by 6 September it was in position at Mission Ridge on the Kokoda Trail preparing to meet the relentless advance of the Japanese. The battalion held on to its positions for two days before being forced to pull out by a Japanese outflanking move that cut the Trail behind it. A grim 2 week withdrawal through the jungle, with little food, followed. Sick and exhausted, the 2/27th rejoined the main Australian force at Jawarere, 40 kilometres east of Port Moresby, on 22 September.
After a period of rest and retraining the 2/27th returned to action at Gona on 28 November. It suffered heavily in series of rushed and ill-conceived attacks and was further assailed by the ravages of tropical disease. By the time it was relieved on 6 January 1943, it was only 70 strong.
The 2/27th returned to Australia in mid-January but was back in Papua by early August. It spent a month training near Port Moresby before being flown to Kaipit in New Guinea to take part in the advance along the Ramu Valley. Leaving Kaipit on 29 September, the 21st Brigade reached Dumpu on 4 October and then began pushing up into the Finisterre Ranges. The 2/27th occupied several key features during these operations and bore the brunt of the one major counterattack launched by the Japanese on 12 October. Thereafter,the 2/27th's operations were principally patrol actions. It began returning to Port Moresby on 3 January 1944, and arrived back in Australia on 1 March.
The 2/27th left Australia for its last operation of the war on 3 June 1945. The battalion landed at Balikpapan on 1 July and after the attacks of that day, conducted with relatively light casualties, its operations were confined mainly to small-scale patrolling until the end of the war on 15 August. From mid-October to late January 1946 the 2/27th formed part of the occupation force in the Celebes. It sailed for home for the last time on 4 February, arrived at Brisbane on 14 February, and was disbanded there on 18 March. http://www.awm.gov.au/units/unit_11278.asp

HUGHES - GROUNDS-WESTON .
St. George's Cathedral was ths scene of a picturesque wedding on Saturday, May 2, when Beryl Violet, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Grounds-Weston, of Albany road, Kelmscott, was married to Lloyd Ryder, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Hughes, of Cannington. The bride, through the unavoidable absence of her father, was given away by Mr. Hector Goudie. Slim and petite, the bride entered the church wearing a classical frock of magnolia bridal satin, fashioned with unusually cut dolman sleeves and a cowl neck line. The skirt was cut on the cross with no side seams, and was beautifully pieced at the back to let the long train fall. She wore an exquisite tiara of orange blossom and iridescent tiny pearls, from which fell a billowing veil five yards long, which was richly embroidered, with lace, leaves and roses. She carried a shower bouquet of roses and maidenhair fern, faintly tinged with pink. Her attendants were Miss Lois Weston (sister of the bride), Miss Muriel Hughes (sister of the bride-groom) and Miss Lois Raston of Tammin. They were frocked alike in picture frocks of heavy duck egg blue georgette, the sleeves of which formed an unusual feature, being braided in silver and studded with rhinestones. They wore short veils of matching tulle, with a spray of autumn flowers on the side of the head. They carried muffs of silver, covered with matching ruched tulle and ornamented with autumn flowers.

On Saturday, October 20, the annual Cabra Fete was opened by Mr. K. Bardolph, M.L.C. The day was a great success, both socially and financially, as the added attraction of sideshows gave a very festive air to Cabra and the beautifully stocked stalls were great means of raising a substantial sum of money. The main feature of the fete was the
baby competition, which had aroused a lot of interest, and caused a great deal of excitement at the finish. The winning baby was Kathryn Hughes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Hughes, of Glandore. Mrs. Hughes and her helpers on the sweets stall raised £227, which was a magnificent effort. The other mothers, Mrs. O'Flahertie, Mrs. Carrig, Mrs. O'Loughlin, Mrs. Hughes, and Mrs. Sawyer, and all the members of the various stalls also worked very hard in helping to raise the £690 which was the result of the competition. Gifts were presented by Mrs. F. Walsh and Mrs. D. Moriarty to each of the six babies in the competition. The Cabra Parents' Committee wishes to thank all those who helped in any way to make the fete the outstanding success it was.

Taylor-Dunn
In a clinging ivory satin gown veiled with ivory tulle, Miss Clarice Alma Dunn made a very beautiful bride at her wedding to Mr. T. L. Taylor, of "Dunbrody," Bayswater, on Saturday evening, June 20. The marriage was celebrated at the Baptist Church, Collins Street, Melbourne. The bride, who is the fourth daughter of Mr and Mrs. A. H. Dunn, Moreland, enhanced her slim and graceful figure by having her wedding gown cut on very severe lines with wrist-length sleeves and a V décolletage to the moulded bodice. The fulness of tho skirt was inlet with long godets and formed a train at the back. The filmy veil was arranged in a cap over the crown of the head and was held in position by a narrow wreath of orange blossom finished with dainty clusters at either side. The tulle was many yards in length forming an over-train. The lovely sheaf bouquet was loosely arranged and consisted of cream roses, hyacinths and maiden-hair fern. Miss Lola Dunn attended her sister as first bridesmaid, with Miss Elsie Williams. Their becoming frocks of turquoise satin were gracefully fashioned with cowl backs to the slightly pouched bodices, matching scarves, and full skirts hanging from moulded hip lines. Wreaths of small roses wore worn across their hair and toned with the shower bouquets of autumn tinted flowers and foliage, which they held. Lace mittens and silver and pearl necklets and bracelets, the gifts of the groom, were an effective and pretty finish. Mrs Frank West (Viola Grace Taylor), and her attendants form an attractive group. The best man was Mr. J. Skerrett, Mr. C. Langley acted as groomsman. The reception was held in the Greenroom at "The Dell," The bride's mother wore a bottle green ensemble trimmed with black and white coney, her toque of ring velvet matching.

WEDDING BELLS
Semmler-Anderson
A very charming wedding of much interest to the people of this district was celebrated at the Methodist Church Gilgandra, by Rev. W. Taylor, on Saturday, March 12, at 5.30 p.m., when Isla Lilian, younger daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Anderson, of "Mosgeil," and late of "Booranda," Gilgandra, was married to Ronald, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Semmler, of "Kiewa," Gilgandra, thus uniting members of two of our best known families.
The bride entered the church on her father's arm, wearing a very lovely and unusual gown of blue angel skin lace, cut on classical lines, with a high Merici collar, with which she wore a finger tip length veil of cut tulle of the same delicate shade of blue as her gown, held in place by a circlet of forget-me-nots. At her throat she wore a beautiful old pearl and sapphire pendant, belonging to her mother, and she carried a bouquet of white Madonna lilies, carnations and rosebuds.
Miss Mavis Anderson, twin sister to the bride, attended her in shell pink Chantilly lace over satin, and on her hair wore a shoulder length veil of pink cut tulle, held in place with pink frangipanni. She carried pink lilies and carnations.
The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Hector Luckie, of "Hazelmere," Mendooran.
Mrs. G. Convary officated at the organ, and during the signing of the register, the solo "Beloved It Is Morn," was sung by Miss Elsie Harrison.
After the ceremony the reception was held at "Mosgeil," where a party of relatives and friends were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Anderson. The bride's mother received the guests in a frock of navy sheer, carrying a posy of pink rosebuds.
The mother of the bridegroom chose navy georgette and lace, and carried a posy of pink lilies.
Gay lighting and floral table decorations made a very effective setting for the pale blue wedding cake.
For the travelling ensemble the bridge chose a huntsman green jacket suit of wool Mariette and ciri satin, with wide brimmed hat and accessories of dark red.
The bridal couple left by car for their honeymoon which will be spent touring the South Coast.

The Australian Women's Weekly Saturday 23 December 1944
Christmas Radio Play
A Christmas play, 'The Star Still Shines," written by playwright Maxwell Dunn, will be presented by 2GB on Christmas Eve, December 24, at 8 o'clock. Lyndall Barbour will play the leading role. As it was difficult to find a play suitable for a Christmas broadcast, Maxwell Dunn was commissioned to write one.
"The Star Still Shines" centres on the Dentons, a typical Australian family-Robert Denton and his wife, Helen, handsome Richard, the eldest son, and idealist daughter Thelma, who is 18.
The second son, Peter (or Pip, as the family call him), is a medical student, an introspective young man with pacifist ideas. His ambition is to heal and save life.
John, the youngest in the family, is ill.
The scene is the Dentons' home while they are having their Christmas party. John's Christmas present is a fort and guns.
Then the scene changes, and listeners hear the Dentons ten years later. Again a Christmas party is in progress, but the festivities which mark this party have a deeper significance, for some of the old faces are missing.
Thelma and Richard have both married, but unhappily.
Time has also brought other changes to the family.
Then the scene flashes back to the first Christmas, ten years before, and the occasion is seen in a new light through the revelations of what has become of these people in ten years.
There is an added significance in mother's efforts to dissuade Richard from contemplating marriage, and his laughing rejection of this advice. There is a new significance, too, in Robert Denton's interview with his doctor.
There is irony in Peter's remarks that he hopes to live to an old age and devote all his efforts to saving life, and an indication of future events in young John's interest in the fort and guns given him as a Christmas gift. There's compassion and pathos in Thelma's visionary outlook on the world to come.
The second Christmas attraction, "Star Theatre," will present "The Garricks," starring Arundel Nixon and Brenda Dunrich, on Christmas night, December 25, at 9 o'clock. This play, too, is written by Maxwell Dunn.

Obituary:
Skill, Courage and Luck
John Alexander Colpus Bomber pilot
Born: Subiaco, 1920 Died: Nedlands, aged 95
Decorated: Jack Colpus left a meticulous account of his war experiences.
John Colpus, one of the most distinguished Australian bomber pilots of World War II, was about to be promoted to squadron leader when he was transferred to a new post, and a year later returned to civilian life - as an apprentice carpenter.
As a veteran of Bomber Command, he had gained his pilot's licence before his driver's licence, when he trained in WA. He was one of the lucky ones. Nearly half the airmen who flew over Europe were lost, a casualty rate which rivalled the worst bloodshed of World War I.
The average survival rate of Allied aircrew was five missions. Jack (as he was known throughout his life) flew 31.
A combination of skill and courage carried him through some remarkable escapes. The most memorable was when his Lancaster bomber collided with another bomber over a German city.
With damage to one wing, he wrestled his aircraft on a course to England and after four hours of tension, crash landed at his base at Waddington.
He had to make his approach at high speed and at a steep angle but the Lancaster survived, as did all of the crew. The other aircraft in the collision also landed safely.
Jack Colpus' Lancaster, "S" for Sugar, had lost nearly 2m of its wing. It was repaired and went on to complete 137 sorties and is now in an RAF museum, one of the oldest surviving Lancasters. Jack's name is engraved on one of its engines.
Another narrow escape occurred when one of his crew collapsed, the victim of a lack of oxygen, as a bombing run was about to commence. If this had not warned of a potentially fatal problem, the whole crew could have lost consciousness. Emergency oxygen supplies were quickly employed.
On another occasion he flew back to England in poor weather conditions, finally landed on an unfamiliar airstrip and discovered that, in the fog, he had used the wrong airfield. The missions took seven hours or longer, in great discomfort most of the time, and always dangerous. On one raid he came within metres of a head-on collision with a German fighter.
Jack Colpus left a meticulous account of his wartime experiences, recording the losses on each mission, the empty rooms of men who did not come back.
He recalls that he always left his shoes outside his room after a raid - not to have them cleaned but to let the ground staff know he was safe.
Temperatures at an altitude of 20,000ft were colder than would be experienced at ground level in the Arctic, and the bombers had very rudimentary heating. Crews were warned not to be too active before they took off - their sweat could freeze.
Colpus remembers his longest flight, more than nine hours, which took them over Italy and then into southern Germany. They were so short of fuel they had to land at an airstrip in England closer than their own. His determination to save fuel caused consternation at his base.
He slowed his aircraft down so much on one return trip that it was assumed the plane was lost and he was officially described as "missing".
He also recalls his misgivings at the death and destruction among civilian populations but concluded that it was a necessary part of the war.
Some historians now argue - in line with Colpus' misgivings - that these raids had little effect on the war's outcome.
Jack Colpus was finally recognised by his superiors as someone who had pushed his luck and he was transferred to a training role for his last year of the war. He and Hope Raston were married in May 1945.
On his return to Perth he completed his apprenticeship as a carpenter and joiner and later passed the examinations to become a registered builder. He went on to be a building inspector with the Perth City Council for 31 years.
One of his busiest times in that role was supervising work on venues for the 1962 Commonwealth Games at Perry Lakes, Beatty Park and the Leederville Velodrome.
There was a strong reminder of his war years when, in January 1947, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his achievements over Europe.
A Bar was added to the award for flying more than 30 missions - the usual term for crews in Bomber Command - and a commendation was placed in his logbook by Lord Elworthy, equerry to Queen Elizabeth.
Hope died in 2008. Jack is survived by three daughters, seven grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
In 2002 Jack was presented with a print from a painting of "S" for Sugar, the Lancaster he had nursed back to England with part of a wing missing. (http://www.pressreader.com/australia/the-west-australian/20151221/281767038181366 )

FATAL SMASH OCCURS IN DENSE SMOKE ALBANY, Thursday. Smoke from a bushfire is believed to be the cause of a road fatality near Albany today. The victim was Lloyd Hocking (39), married, the father of three children and a well-known business man. He died in the Albany District Hospital soon after his admission as a result of a collision on the Denmark-road, 14 miles from Albany about 3.30 p.m. to day. He received severe chest and abdominal injuries. Mr. Hocking was driving towards Denmark, when his tourer car collided with a truck loaded with sawn timber and driven by Alexander Duncan McDonald, farmer, of Tincurrin. towards Albany. The accident was reported to have been due to dense smoke from a bushfire which was burning on both sides of the road. After the collision, Mr. McDonald and an employee, Duncan Fernie, who was with him in the truck, were several times compelled to beat out burning scrub which threatened to ignite the badly damaged vehicle while they were trying to assist Mr. Hocking. Mr. Hocking was conscious after the accident. He was taken to hospital in a school bus, which arrived at the scene after the smash occurred. The Albany police are making inquiries.

LUCY LEFT IN THE LURCH
After listening to the desertion story told by Mrs. Lucy Aileen Hocking concerning her husband, whom she said left her in 1938, Chief Justice Sir John North more wasn't satisfied with the evidence, and adjourned the case for consideration.
In August, 1938, Lloyd Lindley Hocking left for the Eastern States, with the understanding that he would send for his wife and family as soon as he was settled in a new job. Weeks later Lucy got a letter saying that he had no intention of making a home for her and the children. Since then Hocking has served in the New Zealand Air Force. While he was a member, he made his wife an allotment, but since he has been discharged she has received no money. Now, she said, he is attached to the American Navy, has no intention of ever returning to her and their family.
