Flight around Whitianga in the Beaver
Bill Beard took up Gary & me in the Beaver. Gary flies a scale radio model Beaver. Very interesting to fly in 1948 technology. Here are some of the views.

1966 Ardmore Airshow
These pictures were taken with a Canonet camera onto slide film. As far as I can tell these were on a Friday practice day in 1966 for the opening of Auckland International Airport. Pictures are reduced to 1000 pixels, contact me if you would like the 2000 pixel higher resolution originals from the slide copying. (datsta (at) gmail.com). Click on pictures to enlarge.
