He was later posted to 488 (New Zealand) Squadron, shooting down several German aircraft over England and France, for which he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and Bar. He was repatriated to New Zealand in early 1945. He later worked in the aviation industry in England before starting a furniture business. Hall died in 2010, aged 88.
