I just found out that Keith Bracey died last month, on the 29th of October 2010. Many New Zealanders will recall Keith from his days presenting on television in shows like Police 5, and as a broadcaster on radio too. Keith had been an aircrew member on RNZAF Catalinas in WWII.
RIP

I remember Keith from his time as announcer on 2XG.
RIP Keith.

He was apparently also on the TV current affairs show Town and Around (before my time)

I remember him from Town & Around - he played with Acker Bilk and his Jazz band on the program once - he looked very similar, right down to his pointy beard.....

I remember once a classmate came to school after the holidays saying he'd found a massive stash of jewels and gold in a drain and he was going to be on TV. No-one believed him, and then a few weeks later here he is getting a special award from Keith Bracey on Police 5 for recovering a haul of stolen property. It was a big thing for us 11 year olds to see our mate on TV with Keith Bracey.
