It is with regret I advise that Kelly Byrne has marched off to the Gunpark in the Sky. Kelly passed away on 16th March 2019 at Parapara, and is now at peace after a long illness.
Kelly served in the RNZA from 1969 to 1973, in the RNZAF from 1975-1993 and 2005-2012, and in the Territorial Airforce from 2012-2015.
Rest in Peace Kelly. Thank you for your service.
They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
WE STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS
UBIQUE
PER ARDUA AD ASTRA
LEST WE FORGET
A private service is being held for Kelly.
Thanks to Lt Col Gerling for this information.
