Introduced by Dave Homewood, with a brief welcome from Wing Commander Brett Marshall from the museum, we then hear from special guest Bryan Cox.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan is a legend in New Zealand aviation circles. He joined the Royal New Zealand Air Force in 1943, training in New Zealand on Tiger Moths, Harvards and Kittyhawks before converting to the Corsair fighter bomber. He then served with No. 16 (Fighter) Squadron in the Pacific War, and postwar he joined No. 14 (Occupational) Squadron in Japan. After leaving the RNZAF he went through various jobs before he returned to aviation in the 1950&#8217;s as an air traffic controller at Ardmore. This led him back to flying, and before long he was working as an instructor. He flew over 21,000 hours in light aircraft till retiring from the flying school in the 1990&#8217;s. He returned to flying on a recreational licence in January 2018, regaining the licence on his 93rd birthday.<\/p>\n<p>In this talk Bryan tells of his experiences during WWII from his days in the Air Training Corps through to his tours on the Corsair.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick Links:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.corsairsandkittyhawks.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kittyhawks And Corsairs (Bryan Cox&#8217;s Website)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcemuseum.co.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Air Force Museum of New Zealand<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Bryan-Cox-in-1943.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5474 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Bryan-Cox-in-1943-756x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Bryan-Cox-in-1943-756x1024.jpg 756w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Bryan-Cox-in-1943-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Bryan-Cox-in-1943-768x1041.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Bryan-Cox-in-1943-111x150.jpg 111w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Bryan-Cox-in-1943-400x542.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Bryan-Cox-in-1943.jpg 1351w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBryan aged 18 in 1943, during his training on Tiger Moths at RNZAF Station Harewood (Bryan Cox Collection)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P1710587.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5475 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P1710587-882x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P1710587-882x1024.jpg 882w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P1710587-258x300.jpg 258w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P1710587-768x892.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P1710587-129x150.jpg 129w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P1710587-400x465.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P1710587.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBryan aged 93 in July 2018 when he was reunited with Tiger Moth NZ1443 at Rangitata Island (Photo: Dave Homewood)<\/p>\n<p>Here is a video version (the very beginning was missed from the video.
