Thank You.
Thats the one, Thanks again Turbo, I knew it started with W, My father use to rave about it, He was in to sailing little boats around N.Z., But helped me develop my love of aircraft before he died, Told me his company started some airline in N.Z. back in the old days, Cheers for now, Tally Ho!

Great pics and the land of the long white cloud looks great 🙂 , I must try and get there one day again, My dec father came from N.Z, And Worked for the Union steam ship company of N.Z, I was taken there for a holiday when I was 3 years old, My only Memories are of a tin man like water fountain, And the ferry trip from Wellington to Christchurch, I was very young but can remember my older sisters looking out the port hole as we passed the wreck of some ship that sank in a storm with loss of life, Cheers for now, Tally Ho! Phil 😎
That “wreck of some ship” would have been the Wahine that went down in April 1968 with the loss of 51 lives. It was and still is NZ’s worst maritime disaster.
