HOME






















We have taken this opportunity to record and preserve the history of our 1959 RNZAF #13 Boy Entrant Course.

In the past, any historical narrative about a RNZAF Boy Entrant Course would generally be limited to whatever content could be published in a printed book. 

Ideally such books may have also contained a limited number of pertinent photographs.

Unfortunately, printed books will always have somewhat difficult availability or accessibility, and regrettably they can never easily provide an opportunity to update with new material.

By utilising a website format, it has permitted us to include unlimited written text, untold numbers of photos and videos, plus provide handy links to a wide variety of RNZAF and related topics.  

This website format also provides easy access to this information for the widest possible audience.

This website is intended to be a collaborative project....

We invite you to drag out your photo albums, colour slides, videos, plus any RNZAF or pertinent aviation memorabilia, and share your memories...













QUESTIONS.... 

1. Who noticed that a few Boy Entrants were wearing WHITE web belts?

2. What did the wearing of WHITE web belts signify?
