Flt Lt Albert Gordon Shearer No444386

[tesza]

Hi all,

Just seeing if I can get some additional information about my late uncle Albert Gordon Shearer SN444386.  RNZAF Reserve Number 72498
He was a pilot 1939-1945 may have served at different times into RNZAF early jet age[Vampires]?
He ended up as Chief Pilot at Air Pacific [Fiji Airways] and passed in 2000 at 73.

My aim is to get him into the RNZAF Roll of Honour along side his brother Keith Shearer RNZAF Sgt and POW.

Any help appreciated.
Kind Regards Terry Hogan

NZ444386 Albert Gordon Shearer enlisted as an AC2 and ACH AC on 7 Jul 44.
He must have then been demobbed post-WWII, as he re re-enlisted as 48479 as a Cadet Pilot on 26 Aug 48 and was renunmbered, still as a Cadet, as 72498 in Jan 1949.

You can request a free copy of his RNZAF service record from Personnel Records, NZDF.

Cheers,
Errol
