I knew Bill Grey, Murray Greep, Patrick Higgins and his brother Danny Higgins, Miles Pointon all at Ohakea when I was there 1963-1967. And OC Photographic section at the time was S/Ldr Cummings, who had a beautiful dark blue straight-eight Buick coupe. I wonder whether the Neville Higgins might be an error since Patrick and Danny Higgins were not in the long list? I worked with neville in Wigram, hard case photographer him and gary? were mates.

Andy Radka is a friend on Facebook, and he posts some great photos, old (RNZAF) and new, these days.
Mike Provost is also a friend on Facebook.

I went to High School with Gary Hutchinson/Hutcheson and he is brother-in-law of a very good mate of mine. I could track him down if anyone's interested

What years was Sarah (Sara?) Jardine in? She was a Photog at WP. We did Cpl Qual together in 96. I thought she joined in 89/90? I seem to recall she transferred to the Navy?

Danny Higgins is in a retirement village in the Hutt Valley at Wellington. How could that be? He is a lot younger than me!

She was commissioned in the Navy in the early-mid 2000s I think. She featured in a documentary series that followed a group of Navy officer trainees through their commissioning course.

Hi Chris, I used a lot of your aerial pics when I was AFPRO 1992-1998. However, towards the end of that tour the government decreed that Skyhawk PR photo were not to show them armed in anyway as it might upset people!!!!

I have recently had framed my 'BAE Strikemasters of 14 Squadron RNZAF' by photographer Paul Stein. This print was available back in the early 1980s. ( its taken this long to have it framed! ) Its of 3 Strikemasters in echelon formation , with the lead banking away from the formation 'somewhere over New Zealand' . Did Paul / RNZAF produce any other similar prints at the time? Its wonderful to have it now hanging on the wall.
