Subsequently he returned to England, and in 1937 he attended the flying instructors' course at the Central Flying School and was listed as an instructor. He was a grandson of the late Mr. W. T. Grundy, for many years headmaster of Clyde Quay School.

The Wingatui, which has been on the floating dock for repairs and overhaul, was to have come off about 4 o'clock this afternoon.
