Curious if anyone out there knows any further details regarding the story of this brave little critter:

Never come across it before that I recall, but here he is - 'Buzz' not Buss. (Makes sense, eh?)

Flt Lt Costello who has served in 112 Sqdn in the Gladiator days and whom returned for a few weeks in 1942. The monkey was "Buzz" a mascot of "Tiny " Cameron from 3 Sqdn RAAF

Pic about 1/3 of the way down the page.
