I thought I'd post a bit of a heads up here on some of the recent episodes of the Wings Over New Zealand Show aviation podcast. I'm sure some of the readers of this forum will find the contents of interest.

Night After Night and
Day After Day) about his new book
Victory, and about his research that has gone into all three books.

http://www.cambridgeairforce.org.nz/WONZ_Show_61_70.html#Ep67_Bomber_CommemorationEpisode 68 - Unveiling The Captain's FancyThis is a recording of the very special ceremony held at the Sir Keith Park Memorial Airfield main hangar, at the Museum of Transport and Technology, Auckland, new Zealand, to mark the unveiling of the new markings on New Zealand's Avro Lancaster. It is now marked on the port side as No. 75 (NZ) Squadron's Lancaster III NE181 coded JM-M for Mike, with the nose art and name of the very famous 107-op bomber The Captain's Fancy. The speeches at this ceremony were really excellent, as were those in the episode above.
