Well deserved. Should have been awarded years ago.
Guy lived in the Bay of Islands for quite a few years. Presented a picture of p40's in formation to the Russel RSA. Was hanging in that RSA last time I visited. Hope it is still there.

Guy & Elaine have a lifestyle block with a few Avocado's which Guy likes to run around on his ride-on mower. Such a gentleman who always honours those who served his country. As Dave says, should have happened years ago.

None of the pioneers of aerial topdressing were knighted.Yet what they did has had more benefit to the country than merchant banking.
