DescriptionIn January of 2006, Jim Walsh interviewed Tauranga resident Group Captain John Rushton Gard”ner. His widow kindly lent the cassette tape to Tauranga Libraries which was then digitised by the New Zealand room and made available to Tauranga Memories. His story is made all the more precious to Tauranga residents by his passing on May 6, 2011 at the age of 92.
