wow, great pics, thanks Jonathan

Hi Panther,

No, from what I remember reading at the time, the 1960 Magister was doing aerobatics, and then just spiralled down and crashed into the sea, claiming the life of our Olympic gold-medal winning yatchsman and his passenger, who was a former Skyhawk pilot.
🙁

There doesn’t seem to be anything released on the CAA website.

Sorry can’t be of more help.

For sure, the pilot was Chris Yimms, a well known athlete here in NZ and his passenger was Kerry Campbell.
R.I.P.

Sorry Turb,
In Britain, a Kiwi is mostly thought of as a small, hairy fruit, which you chop the top off before spooning out the insides. Now I, as an Aussie, couldn’t possibly comment that would be a good way to treat all Kiwis, could I? (Some of my friends are from NZ, but I try not to remind them. They cry.)

Heh.

And harmony folds its tent in the night, and departs the southern hemisphere…

My misinterpretation…I thought it was a dig at the dis-establishment of our fine airforce strike wing….which still peeves people off down here.

When it comes to WW2 I reckon that you can’t seperate the Ozzies and the Kiwis. All that banter was left aside and they fought alongside each other.

All is good !! 😉

The Oz 15 beat the combined AB/SA 18 last week….nice one.

Well, I’m a kiwi, yup, the moniker proves it too..

We’re the ones who don’t have Gregan as an umpire… 😀
