What is that Thing?
Mystery item discovered in a Marton industrial building. WN-08-0037-22-tn.jpg.
An object found in the attic of an old industrial building in Marton has F/S Hank Hancock, Team Leader/ FLT CDR for the Air Combat Force Disposal Unit (ACDFU), stumped. He asks if any of our readers can identify the mystery object and know what it was used for. He describes the object as: ‘a wooden cabinet about six feet long by about three feet high. Looking front on at it, it has three sections. The sections at each end have a glass door on them with the centre section having a carved Eagle on it with the words Royal New Zealand Air Force carved around the outside (it's the same as what we used to have on our old shoulder flashes). The centre section has a pull out draw underneath with the draw handle being a carved rising sun. On the top, it is also in three sections with the two end sections having an olive branch craved in to them. The centre top section is hinged and lifts up like a cocktail cabinet'.
Pass on any information directly to F/S Hancock or via the Air Force News Public Relations Enquiries form.
