Often real innovation is needed, and a lot of skill and experience has been built up by the resident engineers in Andy&#8217;s team so that almost everything can be worked on and reconditioned in-house. Andy discusses such topics as the recent work to make the Lockheed Hudson&#8217;s bomb doors operable;\u00a0the\u00a0measures to prevent the big V-12 fighter engines overheating on the hot tarmac, and the co-operation between Temora and other collections in swapping information, knowledge and drawings to enrich\u00a0all parties involved.<\/p>\n<p>And Andy talks about his own personal journey into\u00a0aircraft engineering and how it has led to his\u00a0current position in charge of a diverse range of historic piston-engined and jet powered trainers, bombers and fighters. \u00a0He also flies with\u00a0the collection.<\/p>\n<p>The Wings Over New Zealand Show is very grateful to Andy for taking the time out of his frantically busy schedule following the airshow to give this interview, particularly after such a busy weekend as he&#8217;d had keeping the airshow aircraft flying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\">Temora Aviation Museum<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/warbirdsdownunderairshow.com.au\/what-you-will-see-warbirds-downunder-airshow.html\" target=\"_blank\">Warbirds Downunder 2015 Airshow<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The following photographs are the copyright of James D.
