Following his initial officer training at Wigram with the RNZAF, he then went off to Britain for his RAF pilot training. Ross ended up flying Hawker Harrier jump jets, and had just left a Harrier squadron to become an instructor when the Falklands War began. He was called back into No. 1 Squadron RAF and was tasked to ferry a Harrier down to the ship Atlantic Conveyer, and then began operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ross talks about his part in the later battles for the war, and operating the Harrier in the extreme conditions of the South Atlantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as the Harrier operations, Alan talks about his two years with the RAF&#8217;s Red Arrows aerobatic team, and his postwar career flying Boeing 747s for Cathay Pacific, and a private jet for a Middle East sheikh. He also talks about being shot down buy his own round, and having to eject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NB:<\/strong> The pilot that Ross was trying to recall the name of, and thought might have been Robin Taylor, was in fact Alan Curtis. who had previously served with the RNZAF.<br><strong>NBB<\/strong>: The aircraft Sir Ken Hayr was following was a Sea Vixen, rather than a Meteor, when he was sadly killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The New Zealanders who&#8217;ve served in the Red Arrows include:<\/strong><br>Ray Hanna<br>Ian Dick<br>Euan Perreaux (Killed in Red Arrows collision, 20 January 1971)<br>Ross Boyens<br>Andrew &#8220;Boomer&#8221; Keith<br>Simon &#8220;Kermit&#8221; Rea<br>James McMillan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This episode also includes a short promotion from Mel Salisbury of Aviation Tours NZ, who are a supporter and sponsor of the Wings Over Britain series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks also to Kieran Lear for his help in making this episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: The music in this episode is<em> I Vow To Thee My Country<\/em> by Gustav Holst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/P1420801-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/P1420801-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10933\" style=\"width:840px;height:472px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/P1420801-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/P1420801-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/P1420801-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/P1420801-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/P1420801-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/P1420801-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/P1420801-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ross Boyens at home on the 27th of June 2023.
