Doctors Fly In - Aviation Medical Society ConferenceAS noted in last month's WINGS, the New Zealand branch of the Australian Aviation Medical Society met in Auckland recently. The society provides a meeting ground for doctors in the armed forces, those involved in civil aviation, those who hold pilot's licences, and others interested in the medical problems of flying. In particular the society is valuable for those medical examiners designated by the Civil Aviation Division of the Ministry of Transport to conduct routine medical checks of pilots.Full Text in Archive | Article Details | |

Devons are Forever...well almostFast fading from the RNZAF inventory is the twin engined de Havilland Devon. The traditional home of the Devon, RNZAF Base Wigram, no longer sounds to the rhythm of twin Gipsy Queens and there are but a few of the distinctive de Havillands remaining at Ohakea, with No. 42 Squadron. These too are expected to be disposed of in the near future, while in the meantime the F27 Friendship has replaced the Devon on the line at Wigram.Before this aging aircraft leaves RNZAF service for good, WINGS takes a look at its military history — as seen by two of the many aviators who were at one time familiar with the Devon.

A Role to Play: A4 Skyhawks of the RNZAFIt was eight years ago that New Zealand's well known wartime bomber squadron —No. 75 Squadron —turned in their aging Vampire FB5 and T.11 aircraft for 14 brand new A4K and TA4K McDonnell-Douglas Skyhawk jet fighter/ bombers; the RNZAF's obsolescent B(1)12 and T13 Canberra light bombers were also being retired, and by the end of 1970 the Skyhawks had become this country's front line 'sharp end' strike force.Full Text in Archive | Article Details | |

Alpine Airliners: Mount Cook Airline's HS748'sThe idea of large passenger aircraft moving about among snow-capped mountains is incongruous, yet it becomes a reality in New Zealand's Southern Alps almost every day. In an operation unique to Mount Cook Airlines and its fleet of Hawker Siddely 748s, passengers are ferried to and from mountain airfields — some very meagre, and one no more than a grass airfield — in a tourist airline venture that has grown from one DC-3 in 1963 to today's four 748s. WINGS assistant editor Ross Ewing recently flew for two days with an MCA airliner crew to find out a little more about the country's third airline, and the 748.Full Text in Archive | Article Details | |

The Harvard - Pilot trainer for three decadesTHE Harvard. For thousands of New Zealanders it is probably the RNZAF's best known aircraft. It features in the log books and experience of thousands of young men who have trained as pilots with the RNZAF since 1941, and to people throughout the country it is synonymous with a rasping engine sound (caused by the direct drive propellor and resulting high tip speeds) and the trailing smoke of Air Force aerobatic teams. By the time the last Harvards are withdrawn from the RNZAF at the end of this year the type will have seen service in this country for close on 36 years. It will have been the Air Force's longest-serving typeFull Text in Archive | Article Details | |
