He and occasional co-host Grant McHerron will present stories to Warbird Radio listeners from both New Zealand and Australia, and perhaps beyond.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dave is the host of the long-running series&nbsp;<em>The Wings Over New Zealand Show<\/em>, which covers all sorts of stories from the world of New Zealand aviation. He is also an aviation magazine editor and journalist,&nbsp;Administrator for the Sport Aircraft Association of New Zealand, and founder of the very popular Wings Over New Zealand Forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grant, a Kiwi based in Melbourne, Australia, is co-host of another popular aviation podcast series,&nbsp;<em>Plane Crazy Down Under<\/em>. He works in the Australian defence industry, and he is a keen balloon pilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today&#8217;s guest is John Parker is the Public Officer at the Hunter Fighter Collection, based at Scone, NSW, in Australia. He speaks with Dave about the Pat Hughes Spitfire, Mk. 1a Spitfire X4009, which is currently being rebuilt to fly again, and will be based at Scone. John talks about&nbsp;Flight Lieutenant&nbsp;Pat Hughes DFC, who was Australia&#8217;s top scoring fighter ace in the Battle of Britain, before he was killed in X4009.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John also discusses the Hunter Fighter Collection, and the recent addition to its fleet, a North American P-51D Mustang that has been donated by the Royal Air Force Museum, and all the other aircraft in the fleet. Plus a replica Spitfire fuselage that will be taken around Australia to raise awareness of Pat Hughes&#8217; story and the Spitfire project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>QUICK LINK:&nbsp;<a
