Born in England, Captain Mayhead came to New Zealand over 30 years ago to take up farming. He served on the instructional staff of the Army in New Zealand and overseas during the last war, and since then he had been farming at Waipipi. Captain Mayhead is survived by his wife and one son, who is in the Fleet Air Arm."
