Ron was a Navigator-Bomb Aimer, training in New Zealand, Canada and Britain, before being posted to No. 405 Squadron RCAF, which was part of the elite Pathfinder Force.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The squadron flew Avro Lancasters, attacking German-held targets all over Europe. On their 30th operational sortie, Ron and his crew were shot down over Germany, and he and his surviving crew mates were captured and became POW&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Ron told his story to Dave back in 2007, and he often referred to his personal memoirs which he&#8217;d written on the boat home to New Zealand at the end of the war, following his repatriation. Sadly Ron passed away in 2014. This episode is released as a tribute to him.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/images\/P1100688a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"704\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Ron Noice with his New Zealand Prisoner of War Association flag.
