    • 23 October 1942 - An aircraft of the Royal New Zealand Air Force, engaged in a coastal training flight failed to return to the base [New Plymouth]. A search was immediately instituted without success. The occupants of the plane were:
      Pilot-Officer Rodney George DANDY, 33 years - Mrs R G Dandy, Wellington (wife).
      Sergeant Douglas Gordon MARTYN, 23 years - Mrs E M Martyn, Waihi (mother).
      Sergeant Graham MacLeod MARTIN, 27 years - Mrs G M Martin, Christchurch (wife).
      Sergeant Edward Reid DODSON, 27 years - Mrs V L Dodson, Nelson (wife). New Zealand Herald, Volume 79, Issue 24414, 26 October 1942, Page 2 Public - Jenifer - Researcher - 22 June 2020 - Papers Past :
    • Article of aircraft discovery on Mount Taranaki - by a local hunter - in 1974.

      "Clince is most well-known for the discovery of an RNZAF Airspeed Oxford twin engine bomber-training aircraft wreckage on the slopes of Mt Taranaki. The aircraft, an Oxford I, NZ277/P2030 with Pilot Officer Rodney Dandy and crew Sgt Douglas Martyn, Sgt Graham Martin and Sgt Edward Dodson, departed Bell Block Airfield, New Plymouth on 23 October 1942 on a training mission.[5] It is assumed that due to heavy cloud, the crew made navigational errors which resulted in a crash at 4,000 feet.[6] No crew members survived. The RNZAF and local authorities discontinued searches for the aircraft after three months. 32 years later on 15 January 1974. Clince discovered the crash site. Assuming it was already documented, Clince messed around with the wreckage including tampering with the controls and .303 machine gun. He was alerted to the presence of human remains by his dog who had recovered a bone. He then made a hasty retreat down the mountain to inform the Police. He returned shortly after with a party of Police, NZRAF and media.
      His diary noted:
      Hunted Mangorei Stream, got 10 goats. Got a ride in a Cortina 2000 Automatic. Found old bomber below Mangorei Hut somewhere. There were a lot of 303 bullet shells, a machinegun and an old parachute still not undone ... I also found the bone of a human then I buggered off from there fast.[5] - Article on Taranaki hunter Errol Clince : www.stuff.co.nz Public - Jenifer - Researcher - 12 July 2020 - As noted above.

  • Oxford 1 left Bell Block to undertake machine gun firing off the Taranaki coast and then proceed to Kawhia before returning to base. The last transmission heard was at 10.41 on the 23rd Oct 1942. Despite extensive searches the aircraft and crew could not be located.

    In 1974, two men stumbled across the wreck in a valley in the Touakai Ranges, a fallen Rimu tree obscuring the site. The remains of the crew, Rodney Dandy, Graham Martin, Edward Dodson and Douglas Martyn, were returned to their home towns for burial. [For Your Tomorrow, Errol Martyn, Vol.1, p.261]
