Episode 74 - Gavin Trethewey on Canberras

[Dave Homewood]

I have just edited and uploaded the newest Wings Over New Zealand Show - Episode 74 - Gavin Trethewey on Canberras. This is the second recording from our recent Wings Over New Zealand Forum Meet at the New Zealand Warbirds hangar, Ardmore.

At the present time the Wings Over Cambridge website where the WONZ Show lives is mysteriously down, and I have an expert looking into it. However you can listen directly to this episode via iTunes or from this direct link below.

Thanks Dave - great to hear it again to revive the memories!

Sometime in the next few days Gavin hopes to send through his excellent collection of photos that he used to support this presentation so listeners can see them.

Yes I was wondering about that so you can relate to them as he speaks to the photos throughout the presentation.

Gavin is still looking for some of the photos he used in the presentation, lost within his hard drive system, but here's another great shot of him as a Flying Officer in a No. 75 Squadron RNZAF Canberra B2 cockpit. It looks pretty cramped to me! (Gavin Trethewey Collection)
