It is good to see this
It is good to see this account of the late great Vaea Alipate's Air Force career. Personally, I have very happy memories of warm conversations with him, in Tonga as Prime Minister and as Noble in Houma and in London when he was High Commissioner. He was always so helpful and welcoming to me, supportive of my research and generous and kind in assisting my settling in Houma for my studies.
