For the 70th Platinum anniversary of the the ATC, our "A Flight' team from the 1960's squadron completed "King's Crew" the Unit History of 14 Squadron (City of Gisborne) 1941-2011. The title honours our longest-serving CO S/L Andy King AE & bar. It was lodged with NZCFHQ for safekeeping. It would be nice to get it up here but at 620mb, it's a bit big! We have tried to donate it to the RNZAF museum but the stringent terms required seem to preclude this.
King's Crew is now a 284 page ebook written in Powerpoint with a musical score and narration. Following the MayDay2 celebration in Gisborne earlier this year, at which our CO was awarded the Commandant's Medal and NZCF Certificate of Recognition for his services to the ATC since 1960; we prepped a version for public screening, one that avoids copyright issues.
