WW2 airman honoured

Gorton MP Brendan O’Connor last week delivered a certificate of appreciation to Caroline Springs resident Maureen Clark, whose father, Charles William Mayman, served as a Leading Aircraftman in the Royal Australian Air Force during the Second World War. Leading Aircraftman Mayman joined the RAAF in 1943 at the age of 21, serving for three years. “It’s important to recognise the actions of those who fought to protect Australia in that conflict,” Mr O’Connor said.
