The Bryant family, Cowra, NSW, c. September 1941. On the far left in the back row, standing with his father, is Leading Aircraftman (later Flying Officer) Max Bryant, who was on his final home leave before departing for the United Kingdom, where he flew with No. 156 Squadron RAF. Bryant was killed on air operations on 11 June 1943. Don Charlwood, a personal friend who flew Lancasters with No. 103 Squadron RAF, later wrote of his reaction when hearing of Bryant's death: ‘The brightness drained from the day'.
