The venue was the excellent Classic Flyers NZ Museum, at Tauranga Airport. In this episode, Part One of the Forum Meet recordings, we hear from Andrew Gormlie about the museum&#8217;s current and future happenings, with some very exciting revelations and plans for the coming year.<\/p>\n<p>We then hear from Des Underwood, today an aviation historian but in earlier life he was an NCO and then an Engineering Officer with the Royal New Zealand Air Force. Des talks about several projects he was involved with, including the ferrying of the Hawker Siddeley Andover fleet from Britain to New Zealand when they were purchased for RNZAF service; the recovery of a wrecked RNZAF Bell UH-1H Iroquois from a precarious crash site on the edge of a several thousand foot drop into a chasm; his becoming an Engineering Officer; and his role in the rebuild of wings and refit of avionics in the RNZAF&#8217;s McDonnell Douglas A-4K Skyhawk fleet under project Kahu.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly in this episode we hear from Roger Dalziel, who was an RNZAF pilot in the 1950&#8217;s, and he talks about his role as a pilot of the No. 42 Squadron Grumman Avenger target tugs. Roger tells what the Avenger was like to fly and his memories of those days towing targets of Army and Navy guns to fire at, plus some air to air gunnery by Sunderland crews.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430954-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5134 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430954-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430954-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430954-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430954-1-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430954-1-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAndrew Gormlie (Photo: Phil Treweek)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430956-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5136\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430956-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430956-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430956-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430956-2-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430956-2-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nDes Underwood\u00a0 (Photo: Phil Treweek)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430962-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5132 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430962-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430962-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430962-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430962-1-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/P1430962-1-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nRoger Dalziel\u00a0 (Photo: Phil Treweek)<\/p>\n<p>Here is the Youtube clip screened by Des Underwood<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A-4K Skyhawk: Project Kahu Begins (1987)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9FtjXCFp-yE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
