This was sent out to people taking part in the Australian War Graves Photographic Archive.  I thought i would post here to see if anyone has any ideas or can trace any information o  the pilot.  I have the EMail address of the person who sent out the message, Frank Emery.

Happy new year.

I prepared a ceremony, next May, to pay homage to some airmen hidden in a french Maquis by French Resistance. One of them was Australian.
Since some time I try to find his family. Can you help me?
Frank H. REDFORD was airman in the 463rd Squadron of RAAF. His plane is crash in the night 10/11 June 1944.
Franck is born in England, 21 february 1921 in Southampton. After the war he live in Australia, in Maylands. If my informations are good, he is dead now. After the war he have a children, boy or girl?, with the surname of Michel.
Thank you for your help to find this family.
So later and very sincerely.
