May/Jun 2020 MAY/JUNE 2020 Last submission date July 2020 issue: 24th June 2020 [email protected] Tel. 727072 FROM THE EDITOR Available online at www.northwold.net Working from Home and enjoying a stay-at-home ‘staycation’ is still the safest choice in my opinion, despite all the ‘packed like sardines’ beachgoers in the South. Luckily, for the most part, we have continued to be blessed with some gorgeous weather in our idyllic rural environment of West Norfolk. Although, at last, we have had rain to replenish our parched gardens and now also have restored water pressure! Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Village Life is continuing to only be available in digital format instead of a printed publication. This may mean that a number of people without internet access will not be able to read it. Should you be aware of a neighbour in this position, please consider printing it for them, although this may cause hygiene issues and the risk of spreading the virus on the printed paper once handled. Please take all practicable precautions. Thank you. Stay Safe. Jonathan **STAY ALERT** We can all help control the virus if we all stay alert. This means you must: Stay at home as much as possible Work from home if you can Limit contact with other people Keep your distance if you go out, 2 m apart where possible Wash your hands regularly Do not leave home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms.

  • National Commemoration to Mark the 75Th Anniversary of Royal New Zealand Air Force Service During World War Ii
    NATIONAL COMMEMORATION TO MARK THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF ROYAL NEW ZEALAND AIR FORCE SERVICE DURING WORLD WAR II FRIDAY 15 SEPTEMBER 2017 HALL OF MEMORIES, PUKEAHU NATIONAL WAR MEMORIAL PARK, WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND Photos are from the collection of the Air Force Museum of New Zealand AN OVERVIEW ROYAL NEW ZEALAND AIR FORCE SERVICE DURING WORLD WAR II On 1 April 1937 the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) became an independent service within the New Zealand defence forces. Hundreds of New Zealanders had flown in Allied air forces during the First World War, and a small New Zealand Permanent Air Force had been established (under army control) in 1923. But despite expansion in the late 1930s, when war broke out in September 1939 the RNZAF had just 756 full-time personnel and only a handful of modern aircraft. NEW ZEALANDERS IN THE RAF At the same time about 420 New Zealanders were serving with the Royal Air Force (RAF) – the most from any of the Dominions. A further 7000 Kiwi airmen would join RAF squadrons through the Empire Air Training Scheme. They would serve with distinction in all theatres of the war, from the skies over northern Europe to the deserts of North Africa, from the Atlantic Ocean to the jungles of Burma. New Zealanders played a key role in the Battle of Britain in 1940. At least 130 Kiwi pilots took part and made up the third largest national contingent in RAF Fighter Command after Britons and Poles. Some like Al Deere and Colin Gray achieved fame as fighter ‘aces’, while Sir Keith Park led Fighter Command’s crucial 11 Group, which covered London and southeast England.
