CAPT. NORMAN BRUCE HAIR.
The sudden death occurred at his home, at Four  Marks, Hauts, England, of Norman Bruce Hair, fifth son of the late James and Margaret Hair, of  Cundletown. He was a captain in the Royal Air Force  No. 41 Squadron and R.E.M.E. Born at Cundletown 59  years ago, and spending his childhood and school  days there, he was apprenticed to engineering at  Cockatoo Dock and became a marine engineer, thus  travelling the seven seas and becoming acquainted  with the world's, seaports.
The late Captain Hair was a pilot in the First World War, and had to make a forced landing in German territory, and was taken prisoner. Two years on scant  p.o.w. food allowance in Germany told on his health,  but he recovered and visited his old home town in  1921 with interesting experiences to relate.
The last 25 years of his life were spent in England,  where he leaves a sorrowing wife and a daughter, Desiree, a WAAF flight-officer, who is still in the service.
Mr. David Hair, of Murwillumbah, is a brother of the  late captain, and the late W. L. Hair, of Moorland, was another brother.
