Former RNZAF Air Commodore Mal Gunton, a long-time honorary member of NZBCA, is one of the very few surviving RNZAF fighter pilots from WWII still with us. He was recently reunited with Vought F4UCorsair ZK-COR, the fighter type he flew in the Pacific.

Sitting in a cramped, curtained-off compartment, navigators worked by the light of a simple lamp, the pilot relying on him to find the target before guiding the aircraft and its crew safely home. Amongst a small set of tools to plot his route was a set of dividers. These have flown to Berlin and back.
