Hello, road,
I haven't the foggiest notion. Perhaps Dr Christine would know??

Sources
editG'day, there are a number of references to Finlay in Volume VIII – The Australian Flying Corps in the Western and Eastern Theatres of War, 1914–1918 of the Official History, by Cutlack. This work is available online in pdf format here: [3]. According to the index, there are references on the following pages: 87, 98, 106, 111, 113, 118, 122, 131, 135, 138, 140, 142, 143, 144, 153, 155, 159, 165 and 167. I don't have the time at the moment to go through them all, so I am listing them here for anyone else that might be keen. I did a bit of work on the Australian Flying Corps and the 12th Light Horse Regiment (Australia) articles so I will look through my sources for other references (Michael Molkentin's Fire in the Sky might have something). BTW, good work so far. Thanks for your efforts. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 00:37, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello, all,
I went through all the handy page references in Volume VIII (many thanks, Rupert). They are mainly useful for setting Finlay's feats in a historical setting. I did glean a good paragraph, and a couple of useful facts from this source.
