"The Big Show" For any Kiwi's out there that are interested and didn't know, NZ has a strong link to the RAF's 486 Squadron and we were at the forefront flying Tempests against the V1.
Jim McCaw was and remains a legend for his flying with 486 Squadron.
He used to run a gliding club off his farm strip in the Hakataramea Valley near Kurow in North Otago and he would keep a captive audience with 'war stories' after a day's gliding.
