  • I have the medals of 40271 DVR M Brown. I lost items ( including a presentation barometer with Southland power-board written on it ) after Cyclone Gabrielle. I’m wondering my items were mistakenly given to M Brown, and M Brown’s items to me.

      Hi Tones, nice to hear from you. Trust you are well.
      Max seems to have disappeared from sight, just had a thought as you do sometimes as to his
      whereabouts after all these years.
      regards
      John
