Neville Chester, brawny 18-years-old

lad from Port Moresby, and great-grand son of that H. M. Chester who hoisted the British flag in British New Guinea (Papua) in 1883, was prominent in a Brisbane “Courier Mail” photograph in November, when he was one of a group which enlisted in the RAAF. Although he is 6 ft. 3 in. tall, and weighs 12 stone, he is determined to be a flier.
