Here is a message from Peter Lewis, which may be of interest:
I have posted some notes on the TEAL flying boats plus a considerable number of photos at the Wings Over New Zealand forum:

You may find them of interest.
You would be very welcome to join the forum and tell us of your experiences with these Empire, Sunderland, Solent and Catalina boats.
Friends of the Solent Flying Boat 
I was the youngest migrant to arrive in New Zealand (3 months old) – from Holland – flew on the flying boat with my mother on 11 December 1950. My parents had a newspaper cutting but it got lost! Such a shame………..

I have been a bit remiss in keeping up with things. I will remove Wings over NZ Forum.
I was wanting to contact Peter Lewis regarding using a couple of photos in an article about 5th Squadron that has been written for our little Mahurangi Cruising Club magazine. I wonder if you may be able to put me in contact with him please.
Thanks Lyn
