I believe this chap was a member of No. 30 Squadron RNZAF INGHAM, Harold Arthur (Hal). Former owner of Ingham's Hardware Takapuna. RNZAF 30th Battalion WW2. Passed peacefully on Monday 4th January 2016. Aged 97 years. Loved father of Colin, and Alison. Much loved Grandpa of Trevor, Kylie, Lucy, Mary, Joy, and James. One of Natures True Gentlemen. A service to remember Hal's life will be held at the chapel of Jason Morrison Funeral Services, 24 Whitaker Road Warkworth on Monday 11th January at 1.30pm followed by private cremation. May he rest in peace Harold Arthur Ingham enlisted in 1939 as 391216 (later NZ391216). Wallace Norman ('Wally') Ingham (NZ391292) along with himself lists H. A. Ingham in his book The Avengers as being a member of 30 Sqn/30SU. Harold may have been related? Wally also had a brother, Arnold Douglas Ingham, who enlisted along with him, as 391291 (later NZ391291), but he appears to have served elsewhere. Errol Harold Ingham was my grandfather's brother. Not sure if they were related to Wally but I can ask around. My grandfather Douglas Alfred Ingham was a Flight Lieutenant for 214 Squadron. He started up Inghams Hardware and later on was joined by his brother Hal. |

I'm looking forward to reading the service history of Jack Callinan, as I knew him.
My recollection is that he was an accountant and navigator in the wartime pacific theatre.

Hi Dave, maybe you or someone can help. In the link above it has an extract from Le Mesurier's diary and the poster says that his diary has been published. Do you or anybody know the book and can point me in the right direction regarding the title? Sounds like an interesting read by a very interesting fellow. |

Sorry Tim, that was the first I had heard of Mr Le Mesurier, so I have no info on the publication. Maybe the original poster on FlyPast can assist.
