School kids are staying inside at recess and shops have sold out of insect repellent as the north of Australia copes with the worst mosquito invasion in almost 30 years. Black clouds of the mozzies and midges have descended on towns across the Northern Territory over the last five weeks. Experts say a wet October and high tides have made for perfect breeding conditions.

Lorraine Gray never knew her father. She was born the day after Trevor Hedley Roland Gray sailed from New Zealand to fight in World War II. A pilot in the RAF, his Wellington bomber was shot down over the northern part of the Netherlands in 1941. It was chased by German flying ace Helmut Lent following a night bombing raid over Berlin. Villagers from Akkrum believe the crew crash-landed the plane in a bog to avoid hitting the village. It sank into the ground, killing all six crew members. Now, 69 years to the day after his death, Lorraine is returning to the small village to witness the unveiling of a memorial to the father she never knew, and the other men who lost their lives that day.
