This is kind of a renewal of something I have posted on before.
I was initially on a mission to get a quality photo and the signature of every man who rose to command the RNZAF. Over time this has been extented to identify and get a phot and signature of every NZer who achieved the rank of Air Vice marshal and above in the RNZAF and the RAF. I am still looking fo the following signature if anyone has them - I am happy to pay for them if necessary.
Chiefs of the RNZAF - since 1937 there have been 28 men who have been in the role - I have photos of them all but I would like to find the signatures of
AVM Arthur Nevil 1946
AVM David Carnegie 1951
AVM Bill Stratton 1969
NZ Defence Force- - 10 RNZAF men have held high positions (AVM or above) in the defence force - I have photos of all of them but lack 2 signatures - these 2 men are stil alive so I am hopeful that I can sort this
RAF -18 NZer rose to AVM or above in the RAF and I would still like to find the following signatures
AM Sir Roderick Carr
AVM Cuthber McLean (WW1)
AM Sir Charles Broughton
AVM F H M Maynard
AVM H B Russell
AM Sir Andrew McKee
Any help you could provide to track down these few signatures would be most appreciated
Interestingly only one NZer has ever achieved the highest possible Rank in the RAF - Marshal of the RAF Sir Sam Elworthy - I have his signature
