What is the significance of a 1942, DH 82 wooden propellor front and centre of the RSS control Room..... read on.....
In 1942, a young man, born in New Zealand, enlisted and began training in the RNZAF. World War II was well underway, and this farmers son, from Hamilton in New Zealand, arrived in Ashburton, near Christchurch to learn how to fly.
To start the engine, the controls, read the cockpit meters, to taxi, fly straight and level, to bank, turn, to navigate, stall, recover..and on and on...
He was young, he believed in the call to rise up against Hitler’s N**i obsession to take control of the the world.
The aircraft that provided the essential training experience was the De Havilland 82, Tiger Moth.
He gained his Pilot Officer papers, and ultimately spent his finest hours based in the Shetland Islands, north of Scotland, at Garths Voe, an RAF Coastal Command base. Flying a trusty PBY Catalina flying boat, his task was to patrol the North Atlantic, flying 18 hour shifts, hunting German submarines, whose torpedoes were seeking out the convoys bringing vital USA war assets to Europe.
I have this young man’s Pilot’s Flying Log Books safely now with me... his hand written details of every training flight, and every active war patrol he made, including volunteering to fly Liberator flights after the war, returning soldiers back home from all over the globe.
I am deeply proud of his story...
He’s my dad, flying high. Pilot Officer Ivan Porter.
RNZAF.

Swipe to see pic a of dad also taken 1942. And a Tigermoth NZ662 dad trained in, that is still flying, and the entry in his logbook that shows training notes in 1943 in NZ662.
