This year, 2018, marks the centenary of the Armistice which ended the Great War. It also records another important anniversary: 80 years ago since the first flying training course was conducted by the new Royal New Zealand Air Force at Wigram, Christchurch. There were many important identities on the course, not the least of whom was Pilot Officer Sidney Weetman Rochford Hughes.
