Phillip was born in New Zealand but his career took him into the Royal Navy, where his father was a pilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After his training, Phillip flew as observer in the Hawker Hunter as lead in to the Blackburn Buccaneer, which he enjoyed immensely till a medical issue saw him move to the Rotary Wing of the FAA. He ended up flying in the Sea King and the Westland Lynx helicopters for a lot of his career, on and off ships. He was involved in weapon development work, and when the Argentinians invaded the Falkland Islands he and a team working on the Sea Skua missile and other developments rushed them into service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phillip was deployed to the Falklands in command of a Lynx, and he ended up involved in several combat actions, which he describes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is Secretary of the Canterbury Branch of the Royal Aeronautical Society New Zealand Division, and Vice President of the RAeS New Zealand Division. And he is a volunteer at the Air Force Museum of New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also a YouTube version of this recording so you can see the PowerPoint slides that Phillip used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WONZ 327 - Phillip Harrall\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_6jbZLs9Q24?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quick Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rnzaf.proboards.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/rnzaf.proboards.com\/\">The Wings Over New Zealand Forum<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/airforcemuseum.co.nz\/\">The Air Force Museum of New Zealand<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AirForceMuseumofNewZealand\">The Air Force Museum of New Zealand on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/aerosociety.nz\/branches\/canterbury\/\">The Royal Aeronautical Society New Zealand Division &#8211; Canterbury Branch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The music is Wild Flower by Joachim Karud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Allan Udy for his help with the audio recording.
