Image from the Reginald Cains Norris personal collection. Briefing being held in the Operations Room at RNZAF Station Whenuapai. Handwritten on the reverse "The Operations Room Whenuapai - Gubby Allen (in the foreground) briefing. I think that this was a TBF Squadron. The chap sitting behind Gubby is the C.O. of the Squadron - I can't think of his name - His father was an oil company manager, I've remembered Hartshorn [this suggests No. 30 Squadron], alongside of him standing up is Wing Commander Turner. I remember that because the father was an Oil Company Manager Geoff Roberts made me take him in a tour of inspection of the Station in a Jeep."
