Looking for Horatio M MacKay B.1886 and son Reay M MacKay B.1923
« on: Friday 30 May 14 19:34 BST (UK) »
I have some info on Horatio and Reay MacKay, but it's limited to birth and death dates, and that Horatio started New Zealand Airways in about 1928. Reay MacKay served in the RAF during WW2, and  his brother Kenneth, also RAF?, was killed over Holland/Germany in 1944.
