I have Bill Overton's book, 'Blackburn Beverley', in it he wrote that the aircraft that attended the opening of Wellington Airport was XM104 which was part of the Beverley Flight attached to 48 Sqn at RAF Changi. It staged through Djakarta, Bali, Darwin, Amberley, Whenuapai, and Ohakea. The flight was moved to RAF Seletar on 1st October 1960 and became 34 Sqn.
