Manuscript written by Doug Turner of Palmerston North. Doug Turner , born 1931, has spent most of his life in the Manawatu area, and developed an interest in aviation at an early age. He describes his time in the Air Training Corp., through which he obtained a Flying Scholarship and began flying in 1949, his time in the RNZAF as a pilot when called up for compulsory military training in 1952, and, after a break due to family commitments, his return to flying from 1977 to 2013.
