When the story opens, he was what we would now call a vulnerable young person, a boarding school orphan, brought up by his nanny in Hungary. In late 1944, at 15 years of age, he suddenly became an orphan in fact, as his father, Commander James Edward Bond...

died in an air crash while landing in somewhere in France, his Dutch mother by her own hand with "a German automatic". With this news, his regular bank transfers ceased, and communication with the west would soon become (even) more difficult.

Around the turn of the century, there was a bunch of guys who sort of kept an eye on Johnny, 'the boys from the military' as he called them. They came from all the services, the army, navy, particularly the air force, and also the police. Maybe they were just his friends.

He was getting on, but he still lived at the airport "against all regulations', there next to the control tower, although the airline wasn't operating by then. He was a Special Detective Lieutenant, an unusual distinction among Special Constables, and this in every state!

Records show the younger Bond's double, Istvan Egyed, came to Australia on a DC-9 clipper in 1950 with wife Elizabeth (Gal) and baby Evija. Before long Elizabeth presented him with another child, little Istvan.

Bond arrived on a boat in about 1955 and took up with Elizabeth. But these children cannot now be accounted for. He says they were placed somewhere, they knew not where, by Istvan before he perished in the 1956 uprising.

His last memories of his eponymous father are those of child of four in 1932. He father was a Commander in the RAF, yet on his infrequent visits home to Amsterdam, he often appeared in Royal Navy uniform, consistent with the intelligence role. It also suggests the Fleet Air Arm.
