    Pupil in a Tiger Moth cockpit with an instructor looking on. Believed to be at RNZAF Station Taieri. This PRS series was found without a register or other information. Some detail has been gleaned from some of the negative sleeves or where the picture has been published. This series post-dates the DM series and pre-dates the post-war PR series (beginning in 1956).
