Guest Speakers: Brendon Deere, Tim Costley MP, SQN LDR Craig Clark, FLT LT Stu Glendinning, Roger Dalziell, and SQN LDR Michael Williams Host: Dave Homewood Recorded: ‎28th of February 2026 Released: 9th of May 2026 Duration: 3 hours 14 minutes 55 seconds In this bumper-sized 350th episode in the Wings Over New Zealand Show podcast series, we hear the various presentations given at the Biggin Hill Hangar WONZ Forum Meet at RNZAF Base Ohakea. We were very fortunate to be hosted by Brendon Deere, who is a great supporter of Wings Over New Zealand. In order we hear from: Tim Costley MP – Tim is a former RNZAF pilot, and he talks about his experiences in the Royal New Zealand Air Force, particularly flying the Bell Iroquois but also in other types. He served operationally on several occasions. And he talks a little about his current position as a Member of Parliament for Otaki in the National-led coalition government. Tim Costley (Dave Homewood photo) Squadron Leader Craig Clark – Craig is the Officer Commanding No. 42 Squadron RNZAF, based at Ohakea, which operates Beechcraft King Air 350s in two roles, two C-12K examples as transports which can carry up to nine passengers , known as Slicks, and two MC-12K used for Air Warfare training and sensor suite training. In this fascinating talk Craig explains how the squadron has been evolving with its previous role of multi-engine training having been phased out, and interestingly the MC-12Ks are being used for actual front line operational missions more and more now, at home and overseas in the Pacific. He also talks about the future of the squadron, and his personal hopes that it will soon be expanded and larger aircraft platforms will be brought into the squadron’s capabilities.

(All NZDF) No.42 SQN’s new Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft takes it’s first flight at RNZAF Base Ohakea, 14/05/18. Flight Lieutenant Stu Glendinning – Stu is a pilot and a QFI on No. 5 Squadron RNZAF, also based at Ohakea, flying the new Boeing P-8 Poseidon. He talks about his RNZAF career, including flying training with the RAAF on NZAI CT/4B Airtrainers and Pilatus PC9s, in a rare case where RNZAF pilots joined an RAAF aircrew course. He talks about his progression to No. 42 Squadron and then No. 5 Squadron, and flying the Lockheed P-3K2 Orions. He then transitioned onto the new Boeing P-8A Poseidon fleet and he shares insights into this amazing aircraft. He also tells the very emotive story of his experience as the Search and Rescue Captain on a P-8A when he was scrambled following the sinking of HMNZS Manawanui.

Brendon Deere – Our host for the event at the Biggin Hill Historic Aircraft Centre, Brendon spoke about his Biggin Hill Trust collection of warbirds that are based at Ohakea. They include his Supermarine Spitfire IX PV270, North American P-51D Mustang NZ2423, Grumman TBM Avenger “Plonky”, and North American Harvard IIa NZ1037. Brendon Deere Roger Dalziel and Mike Williams – In a very rare opportunity, the audience were able to hear from two Grumman Avenger pilots, Roger Dalziell who flew the Avengers in the RNZAF from Ohakea in the early 1950s; and Squadron Leader Mike Williams who is a current instructor pilot based at Ohakea, and is the current pilot of Plonky, the Biggin Hill Avenger, with the Air Force Heritage Flight. He explains the work of the Heritage Flight, which Mike himself was behind the creation of. Roger is the last known pilot who flew original RNZAF Avengers still living today. Mike had just arrived back at Ohakea following flying a display at New Plymouth in the Avenger, and the two pilots compared notes on flying Avengers 75 years ago and now.

Flight 19 was the designation of a group of five Grumman TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on December 5, 1945, after losing contact during a United States Navy overwater navigation training flight from Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The final moments of Flight 19 and whatever may be left of the squadron remain lost to this day.

We hope everyone is staying safe as Christmas approaches and life becomes hectic, chaotic and clouded with the insanity of shopping car park over-crowding in hot weather and high humidity. We recommend that you drink lots of water, rest in a cool shady spot and listen to something fun and entertaining, so in light of that here is our latest episode from the Nerds we all love. Please sit back, relax and enjoy that cold drink and let us entertain you.First up the Professor has news about Netflix getting involved with the Minecraft story mode. This is potentially the greatest news since Anthony Mundine was knocked out, and was silent for more than 30 seconds, not that we condone violence, but it was a teacher who took him down. Viva la Nerds!!!The DJ brings us news about the latest Bond movie changing director and a discussion about a number of things Bond related ensues. Buck the ancient Nerd is a Bond fan and has some trivia for us that is pretty cool. For example in which film did a camera man suffer an accident in which he nearly lost his life, but did lose a foot? DJ asks ‘who is everyone’s favourite Bond,’ so please send us a message and let us know, we will run a poll on Facebook also, we will let you know the results.Buck is excited about the story of Henry Sutton, a man referred to as Australia’s own Thomas Edison. The recent release of a book researched for a decade by his Great Granddaughter and recently published has him all bothered and aquiver. Trust us, this guy was a seriously cool inventor and scientist with some amazing work to his name. Also he met another of Bucks great heroes, Nikola Tesla and invented a telephone, a precursor to the television. Wow, I mean this bloke wrote a paper on heavier than air flight at the age of 14 which was later published Royal Aeronautical Journal of Britain. So grab your socks and hold on tight for the latest thrilling adventures from our Nerds.EPISODE NOTES:Netflix introduces Minecraft: Story Mode- https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80227995- https://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/11/27/telltales-minecraft-story-mode-on-netflix/- https://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/telltale-games-minecraft-story-mode-netflix-1203038125/The Life of Henry Sutton- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-12-04/why-have-we-forgotten-australias-edison/10567060- https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/scienceshow/australian-inventor-henry-sutton-remembered/10594524Plans for Bond 25- https://www.empireonline.com/movies/bond-25/cary-fukunaga-talks-plans-bond-25/Games currently playingBuck- PayDay 2 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/218620/PAYDAY_2/Professor- A Gummy’s Life - https://store.steampowered.com/app/585190/A_Gummys_Life/DJ- Darksiders 3 - https://darksiders.com/Other Topics DiscussedStranger Things the TV show- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_ThingsBunnings: onion goes on the bottom- https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/retail/the-humble-bunnings-snag-in-bread-is-facing-a-change-for-safety-reasons-people-are-not-happy/news-story/f7352271caf24245bd5c5b8be51abbbeMinecraft: Story Mode the game- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft:_Story_ModeMinecraft achievement : 3DS Minecraft Project- https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/minecraft-nintendo-3ds/Minecraft: Update Aquatic- https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Update_AquaticRACV: Royal Automobile Club of Victoria- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Automobile_Club_of_VictoriaHenry Sutton biographer and relative Lorayne Branch- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-12-04/henry-sutton-biographer-and-relative-lorayne-branch/10577812Papers done by Henry Sutton- http://www.ctie.monash.edu.au/hargrave/biography1.html#suttonPatent US8770615: Collapsible Wheeled Stretcher- https://patents.google.com/patent/US8770615History of the Ambulance- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_ambulanceHistory of stretchers- http://www.ambulanceservices.co.uk/NAPAS%20Training%20Files/Training%20Files/Short%20History%20of%20Stretchers.pdfPhar Lap: champion racehorse- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phar_LapBeasts of No Nation- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beasts_of_No_Nation_(film)Sean Connery- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_ConneryDaniel Craig: the blond Bond- https://www.today.com/popculture/its-official-daniel-craig-first-blond-bond-wbna9662926Real reason to why George Lazenby left Bond- https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a828613/james-bond-george-lazenby-real-reason/Daniel Craig is paid 25 million for the next Bond movie- https://www.businessinsider.com.au/daniel-craig-paid-25-million-for-next-bond-movie-2018-5?r=US&IR=TIvy: Soul Calibur character- https://soulcalibur.fandom.com/wiki/IvyDarksiders III: Apocalypse Edition- https://store.thqnordic.com/games/darksiders/1135/darksiders-iii-apocalypse-editionDr Who episode: The Chase- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chase_(Doctor_Who)Dr Who episode: Rosa- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_(Doctor_Who)Falcon Heavy by SpaceX- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_HeavyFamous Birthdays4 Dec 1858 - Chester Greenwood, American inventor (invented earmuffs at 15), born in Farmington, Maine - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_Greenwood4th Dec 1865 - Edith Cavell, British Nurse celebrated for saving the lives of soldiers from both sides without discrimination and in helping some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium during the First World War, born in Swardeston, Norfolk - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Cavell4 Dec 1948 - Lin Onus, Australian Aboriginal artist (Michael and I are just slipping down to the pub for a minute), born in Melbourne, Victoria - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lin_Onus5 Dec 1901 - Walt [Walter Elias] Disney, animator, (Mickey Mouse), producer and co-founder of Walt Disney Co., born in Chicago, Illinois -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney5 Dec 1903 - Cecil Frank Powell, English physicist who discovered pion (pi-meson), a subatomic particle (Nobel 1950), born in Tonbridge, England - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._F._PowellEvents of Interest1 Dec 1948 – The Tamam Shud Case also known as the Mystery of the Somerton Man, is an unsolved case of an unidentified man found dead at 6:30 am, 1 December 1948, on Somerton beach, Glenelg, just south of Adelaide, South Australia.

This week on our Public Affairs Program, Sunday at 5a: As Memorial Day gets closer we offer an encore broadcast from several years ago with two veterans of World War II that have since passed away. Roscoe Mitchell and Art Shipe served on opposite sides of the globe during World War II. Roscoe was a nose gunner and bomb toggler in a B-17 with the 8th Air Force in Europe. Art was a turret gunner in a Grumman TBM Avenger that flew off the air craft carrier Bunker Hill in the Pacific. They share some of their experiences in the war and relate their feeling that they are not heroes, but rather, the real heroes didn’t make it home. World War II veterans are dying at a rate of 1000 per day. Make sure you thank one as Memorial Day approaches on May 28th.

BACKGROUND The fate of a US Naval training flight, designated as “Flight 19” remains one of the American military’s most enduring mysteries, but also one of the signature stories from the legendary region known as “The Bermuda Triangle.” On December 5, 1945, a squadron of five Grumman TBM Avenger torpedo bombers departed Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale, Florida at 2:10 p.m. on what should have been a routine overwater navigation training exercise. After successfully completing their practice bombing runs and some course change maneuvers, the formation radioed that they were not sure of their location or heading. Several hours later it was clear that the squadron was lost and their situation was dire. Flight instructor Lt. Charles Taylor, USN would make his last transmission around this time and it would be the last he and his 13 airmen would ever be heard from again. A rescue operation was launched, but it too would suffer a terrible tragedy. Was this merely a series of unfortunate but explainable errors and Flight 19 simply fell victim to the natural danger of the sea, or would they be claimed by the purported treachery of the Bermuda Triangle?
