Contributors
We'd like to thank the following, amongst others, for their very generous time and/or financial donations. There are too many individual donations to list there, but they are all very much appreciated, including those who contribute their time helping with the moderation of the YouTube chat. All received funding goes to our equipment upgrades, running and research costs. A particular thanks is due to Scott Banks, founder team member, who managed all the technical side of the project until 2022 and, without whom, this wouldn’t have happened.

Beaufighters
The 30 Squadron RAAF Beaufighter Association helped support this project in its early phases. Its emblem is a peregrine falcon and its motto is ‘Strike swiftly’, so our first two peregrines were called Swift (female) and Beau (male) to honour this group. They have visited the site several times and their input has been very valuable.
More information can be found on the fascinating history of this group.
