F/Lt. Frank Scott

Royal New Zealand Air Force 487 Squadron

from:Inglewood, Taranaki

My father Frank Scott did his training in Canada, in 1942/3, flying Venturas. Upon arrival to the UK, he trained on Mossies FB Mk 6, and was then posted to 487 Squadron in 1944. He was the of Pilot G for George. He completed his tour, including a 0200hr mission on the 6th of June 1944. He then was posted to a Mossie training establishment in Scotland.

He was due to get a posting flying Hornets against the Japanese when the war ended. I know that he flew with the reserves until the late 50s flying Mossies. His navigator was Flt Sgt Jack Redmond. He was from Levin I think. They stayed mates well after the war ended.
