RNZAF report re NZ964-Dissappeared 18th Aug 1942 ex Woodbourne, Blenheim

Bruce Hardwick made this Official Information request to Ministry of Defence

The request was successful.

From: Bruce Hardwick

Dear Ministry of Defence,
Having recently become aware of the possible general location of NZ 964 in the Mt Richmond Forest Park thru the local hunting community. Having extensive experience of the touted location I would like to go in & search, based on info at hand. Of most interest from the Air Force are the weather conditions of the day & likely manoeuvres LA Orbell may have been practicing.

Yours faithfully,
Bruce Hardwick
