I did locate my dad's platoon roster (2nd platoon) for L/3/2 and do not see your dad's name on it, so they were in different platoons, at least they were at the time this roster was put together.  Could have sworn I'd seen your dad's name somewhere.

My dad was in L/3/2 on Saipan and was wounded at Garapan.  I have a list of the guys in his platoon and will see if your father was in his platoon.

Looks like a Kingfisher to me too. Curiously, I can't make out the Sadu Maru or the long pier at this angle. I'm thinking the dark smoke is coming from the pier but can no way be sure.

Think that's what's up in the top right. Taking all those aerials probably... Not sure I've seen this one; at least did not notice the plane...

OK troops!

I have located the entire database for the old TT.  1,780 pages.  Stay tuned.  Yes it was well hidden, took a long time, but I got it!
