ex-RNZAF WW2 Corsair pilot Des Stokes filmed this 'home movie' at Easter 1993 during the opening weekend of the New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum in Wanaka (NZ). HAFU has taken this footage (supplied by Des' son, John) and has improved it as much as we can tomato it more viewable. The historic nature of this footage shot more than 30 years ago now, makes it a valuable piece of video to preserve.
