There is an audio podcast version of the latter but the video is much more satisfying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7889b06a-7320-4ba5-a368-1eeef8788260.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"725\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7889b06a-7320-4ba5-a368-1eeef8788260-1024x725.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7889b06a-7320-4ba5-a368-1eeef8788260-1024x725.png 1024w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7889b06a-7320-4ba5-a368-1eeef8788260-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7889b06a-7320-4ba5-a368-1eeef8788260-768x544.png 768w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7889b06a-7320-4ba5-a368-1eeef8788260-150x106.png 150w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7889b06a-7320-4ba5-a368-1eeef8788260-400x283.png 400w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7889b06a-7320-4ba5-a368-1eeef8788260.png 1490w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Above: Avro Lancaster ND752 of No. 75 (NZ) Squadron as features in Maximum Effort, as the Whitting Crew&#8217;s regular aircraft.
