TEAL Pilots/Engineers logbooks for Empire Flying Boats

[awarua4047]

Does anybody out there know any decendants of the late TEAL Captain, Christopher Griffiths who was First Officer on the delivery flight of the S.30, ZK-AMC Awarua with Captain Oscar Garden.
I'm trying to find records of the actual aircraft movements for the 2 Empires operated by TEAL and as the aircraft logbooks have seemingly disappeared, I want to try and establish the record
through old logbooks. Also, if you know of ANYONE else who has decendants of TEAL pilots/engineers who worked these boats, I'd be very happy to have their details as well please.
I've found Oscar Garden's logbook at MOTAT for the period 1936-1941 but I need in total, the period August 1939 to November 1947.
Thanks so much!

Yes I do (or did) - Will email you. A few years ago I saw a personalized plate that was ZK AMsomething and had a yarn with the driver - he had been a pilot It was in Taupo, at least 10 years ago. Anyone else familiar with this plate?

I have been very lucky today in that a Proboards reader emailed me with a lead to Captain Griffiths son!
We had a great conversation today - he has ALL his father's logbooks and they are going to be photographed for me next Saturday.
I am truly grateful to your reader Tom who replied to me. Go RNZAF Proboards!! Thankyou.
