POND, Flying Officer Herbert Alexander, DFM. NZ416161; Born Matamata, 25 Apr 1922; RNZAF 9 Nov 1941 to 22 Feb 1946; Pilot. Citation Distinguished Flying Medal (17 May 1944): [97 Sqn RAF (Lancaster)] Extract available only - Flight Sergeant Pond has taken part in attacks on some of the enemy’s major targets. In August, 1943, he was captain of an aircraft detailed to attack Nuremberg. After bombing the target the port inner engine was hit by fire from a hostile fighter, the inter-communication system was rendered useless and the aircraft severely damaged. On the night of 27/28 Aug 1943, during the above raid on Nuremberg (his 13th sortie), Fg Off Pond’s aircraft was badly damaged by German night-fighters. To avoid them he flew into cloud but struck high ground. The aircraft bounced off a hill top finishing up in a Belgian corn field. With the assistance of an escape and evasion organisation he was back in the UK on 16 Sep 1943. Following his return Fg Off Pond joined 45 Group RAF at Dorval, Montreal and made 23 trans-Atlantic delivery flights. Errol |

BRUNSKILL, John Brian:
4.6.1946 - 20.4.2017
Passed away peacefully at Waipuna Hospice.
Flying NZ is sad to report that John Brunskill, a passionate sport and recreational aviator, passed away on April 20th 2017 after losing a battle with cancer.
John was a past President and Life Member of the Tauranga Aero Club. He served on the Executive of the RNZAC (Flying NZ) firstly as the Central Region Representative followed by Vice President and then President. He remained a member of Flying NZ’s competition rules committee until this day.
I knew John for nearly 30 years. Not enough room here to put all his achievements. He recently was awarded an FAI Air Sport Medal for his services to recreational and competition flying in New Zealand.
You will be missed by many John.

Bert Pond will be fare welled at the Hinuera Hall on Monday. He and two crew evaded capture but Bert had a bit of luck luck as Hugh Verity from 161 Sq made a "delivery " via Lysander on that night and had spare seats for the return. Because of his contact with the Marquis and SOE operatives , he was posted off operations.
