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.
