No takers? So, here it is in the fashion of "Brian of Britain" Quiz on BBC Home Service.

Last of Governor General, a surname? Difficult, but lets look. Airport, avian link? Will need a lot more. Flightless kind? Penguin, Rod Hull's chum, no. Kiwi - progress, part of the emblem of RNZAF. So, aircraft name within RNZAF, a name to double as a surname. Anson? A sailor, possibly. Oxford? Doubtful, a fine university and possibly the writer of Shakespeare's plays. Vincent, maybe another Admiral. Hastings? A character from Agatha Christie.....but also a Governor General of India, so there is the aircraft.

I am sure that there are many Hastings Airports, not only in New Zealand, but an "avian link?" How about Hastings, Sierra Leone, known to B. Cal pilots serving their time years ago on Sierra Leone Airways Trislanders, and known also to the Fleet Air Arm as HMS Spurwing. So that's "cooked your goose."
