Hi, Interested to learn of this. My father (now deceased) W/O Arthur George Brown was an instructor at Wigram until around 1977, we lived adjacent to the based in Airforce housing (I think) for a time in Dufek Crescent. I'm very keen to obtain copies of any photos of my dad from around this time featuring him, or the base in general as I have virtually nothing in this regard. If anybody can help, please pm me for email address? Thanks in advance! |

My wife and I attended a street get together here in Echelon Drive in Wigram Skies. I got talking to a chap and asked what he did and he was ex RNZAF. was in for a long time (saw the last flight of a Sunderland for example). He was Avionics and was at 2TTS his name is John Wilson but was known as Joe when he was in as there were 5 Johns on his recruit course!

Not sure if I have any photos of him, but will have a look. |

I'm very happy to digitise and clean-up any old photos that may be stored away in albums/boxes in wardrobes etc. |

Your dad spent most of his time as an instructor down at the Instrument School, opposite 7 Hangar. These buildings were later used by GSTS - NCO Training.
Taking photos of buildings would not be on a list of "must-dos" for many people, but the museum would have some at least. I don't think I have any, but will have a look, anyway. I have some contacts for contemporaries of your dad, so will check that list as well.
