Stanley James Blackmore is my relative, he was born in Rotorua in 1900. In the 1920's Stanley worked for Nash Motors NZ Ltd selling cars on their behalf from Hamilton and he was also a pilot who owned Blackmore Air Services. Stanley flew Leo L. White around NZ so Leo could take the historic land photographs known as Whites Aviations photographs. Stanley few in air shows with Jean Batten. Stanley's Uncle was John Smeaton Blackmore who managed the Tamahere Creamery, the Newstead Creamery for two years, and was afterwards for three years at the Pukekura Creamery. My family website with Stanleys history is https://caseynewzealand.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?view=0&ver=21096&pid=2709&userid=caseynewzealand.
