In 1946 RG815 undertook a mission to liaise with RAF radio units between Britain and New Zealand and demonstrate the latest advances in radio communications. The presence of a Bristol 170 with Type C roundels suggests this may be RAF Defford where early production Bristols VR380 and VR382 were based. RG815 was also known to be based there at times.
