Hi Peter,
Awesome Sunderland photos - thanks for posting
I would love to know the background/story with the gathering under the
Sunderland wing in the Braby - The Lady standing there looks a little
detached from the group - Air Force wife or WAAF?
(doesn't appear to be in uniform)
Look forward to Whenuapai
Thanks
Alan

Probably a family group being shown around. The aircraft is secured. The bloke on the left "arms akimbo" is probably the serving person

Alan , the Sunderland group were AHSNZ Auckland branch members on a visit to the base.
Yes Dave all from my Agfa 120 . Sorry about the double up ( my poster ie wife ) had a few photobucket problems so maybe you can edit the extras out.
The final batch will be air force scrap/junk , and although I have posted the odd one before , I will do the whole group to show just what was around in 62/64.

Hi Peter- thanks for answering my query  I recall my Dad taking my brother and I on such a "tour" of one of the Sunderland's in the braby While I'm here, I have another query for you (or Forum). Do you know what is the make or type of the tractor towing Bristol Freighter NZ5910? Reason I ask, is I have a colour photo (from a Kodak Slide) my Dad took of the hangar at Lauthala Bay with a Sunderland being serviced, and one of these is parked in the hangar. Thanks again for posting your photos, I grew up on these types of photos, of our Air Force, and brings back a lot of great memories  Thanks again Alan |

Can't help with specific model, but there were David Brown, Tructor and another version that I can't recall. I used to drive them all, dragging oxygen bottles and LOX trollies around.
Incidently I note NZ5910 carrying 41 Sqdn wording on the fin.

The tug looks like a Clark. There are many different versions and quite a lot of them around NZ.
