The local rag had a bit to say about the area i grew up around , thought one issue was safety - aircraft landing in built up areas

.........................................

.....Oh well damm they guys with their model planes ... Oh Well Hagley Park IT IS - and if the fair is in town , Burnside Park will be perfect! , the atmosphere fumes from the airport !

It wont affect us ... we are virtually unseen

Thanks for the newspaper scan Ian - keeps me in touch with what's happening down there.
Call it progress I guess but for an oldie, what saddens me is that having gone through 'the system' i.e. CMT Training, then ground crew regular, then aicrew as a Signaller, we have lost so much RNZAF history.

The museum is fantastic and it was great to see the old small barrack block that us Sigs used had been saved and shifted to between the hangars, but sadly I couldn't find what I believe was the old Wigram hangar that was used as the gymnasium alongside the swimming pool.

Progress??? sadly not for me.

The area [color=#000000]Norm recalls is near opposite on the right hand side of the beacon tower[/color] 'old small barrack block that us Sigs used had been saved and shifted to between the hangars' i believe is just visible behind the later barrack block facing the old hanger.

Haha looks like I'm gonna have to eat humble pie about the number of new RNZAF recruits this plane is going to attract!
