Thanks for the links PZU. What an interesting and varied career! Many different A/C types flown, from the Fieseler Storch to the B737. Interesting that he (and his crew?) attended two OTU's; No.34 at Pennfield Ridge, Nova Scotia, on Venturas, and No.13 at Finmere, near Bicester, on B25's. I wasn't aware before that British Commonwealth Air Training Plan crews attended OTUs in Canada, presumably then to potentially join operational squadrons directly.
Another remarkable man of a remarkable generation from a remarkable country. New Zealand, though a small country, proportionally made a greater contribution to WWII than any other Commonwealth country.
