Some of you may know of Wilfrid Thomas, a British/Australian  broadcaster 
and sometimes singer who had regular programs on the BBC and the ABC from 
1940 through to 1980. The NFSA has his tape collection of current affairs 
reporting from all over. I am trying to track down who may now own the 
copyright on his material we have here, and trying to find out if he had 
any children or other close family. He died in 1991 and an obituary was 
published in The Times in London on 23 August that year. As far as I can 
tell this should be available online, but we don't have any access to it 
and I have spent the morning trying to find a library around the country 
who does, but with no success. Any any of our ARSC collegues can access 
The Times from 1991 and find this obit I would be very grateful. I will 
make no comment about Rubert Murdoch and his paywall.

Thanks
