( F/O Cyril Joseph Murphy, ex RAF Mr Murphy is my biological father, this is all the information i know of him. He was a instructor at RATG, Moffat Airfield, Gwelo during the war. Married my mother on 25th September 1943, St Mary's Bulawayo. Went back to England at wars end and returned to take up a position as Superintendent of Goods of Rhodesia Railways in Bulawayo. I have no other info on him, no photos, not anything.!!<br />Any information on either of these gentlemen would be greatly appreciated. Good health, go well<br />Cyril Dennison.) quote-unquote.<br /><br />On the 2nd November 2010 I recieved a E-mail from a relative in the UK, a Lady was'nt even aware of, she adivised me she had photos of my father, and also enclosed the photo contained in this publication "seven Moffat trained officers who returned to train others".
