Bill Reid had his book released this past week, just finished reading it - and it really is a beauty ! - lots of neat historical info on his Dad, John Reid, with both his wartime flying and early helicopter work; Bill's exciting helicopter times including his restoration of the Anson, and finally the newer generation with son, Toby, and grandson - Ole.

Bill is being interviewed by Kim Hill on Radio NZ tomorrow morning.

I believe that he will be interviewed on Radio NZ this coming Saturday morning.

I'm doing a review for it for NZAvNews - great story from what I've seen of it so far.

I managed to listen to most of it, although I was driving a train from Masterton to Wellington at the time, so I lost radio reception for about seven minutes as I passed through the 8.8km-long Rimutaka Tunnel, then again briefly passing through the Maoribank Tunnel, but it was a very interesting interview.

You can listen to it (and save an MP3 file of the interview to your computer) from HERE. I've downloaded and saved a copy so I can listen to it again without missing any.
