In this episode we present the third annual Jean Batten Lecture, hosted by the Royal Aeronautical Society Bay of Plenty Branch, at the Classic Flyers Museum in Tauranga. Introduced by the Branch Chairman Des Underwood, the main speaker Richard Waugh presents the history of the National Airways Corporation of New Zealand, from its beginning in the postwar 1940’s through till its merger with Air New Zealand in 1978. Richard goes through the history step by step four years at a time.
Richard Waugh is a very well known and respected author of many books on airline history in New Zealand, and he has been instrumental in the establishment of numerous memorials to victims of airliner crashes throughout the country. He has also been active in the hunt for missing aeroplanes, and he appeared in previously on WONZ Show Episode 86 “Missing Aeroplanes in New Zealand” with fellow researchers Chris Rudge and Gavin Grimmer.
This episode concludes with the Graham Lister of the RAeS Branch showing his appreciation on behalf of everyone for the excellent talk by Richard.
