Line up of No. 14 Squadron Kittyhawks at RNZAF Station Whenuapai.
Handwritten on the reverse "The line up of Kittyhawks or Warhawks - from memory the difference was the engine - I think that these were the Kittyhawks who went to Noumea via Waipapakauri & Norfolk Island - 14 Squadron I think - they had 2 Hudsons to guide them. Nugget Cohen the Whenuapai C.O. decided, contrary to the Flight Plan, that they should stay at Waipap. overnight and then fly Waipap - Norfolk and Norfolk - Tontouta. this was too long because of the weather at Tontouta which closes in early in the day - they arrived at 5pm - no light - bad rain & dropped into the sea."
