Damn Timmo !!
I could have used those.....................
All ive got so far are some aerial shots, unfortunately, a bit hard to tell the architechture, colour, and purpose of the building, when all you can see is the roof !! (hangers are a bit obvious though )................

Can anybody familiar with the place, positively identify any of the numbered buildings in these 2 pics................

I'd recommend holding off until I re-release the old Coromandel scenery -- it's all realigned to fit the mesh properly. I don't have a release date, but I'm hoping for before Christmas.

Thanks Rob,............ only just started on it.................
If its realigned to fit the 20m mesh properly, then i wont have to worry about trying to tidy up all the levels that are just a wee bit out in 20m !! It will be worth the wait,............
Hmmm, might have to re-visit my Pauanui Scenery as well when youre done,...............

Hey Rob, as well as the obvious of the levels etc at Thames, will this realignment also cure the "climbing water" on the cliffs at Pauanui ??

A definite yes with the 'Roads & Rivers of NZ' topo installed, probably a vast improvement without the topo too.

11's the clubhouse. It's fence around an outside courtyard was destroyed
10 and 9 are the Aeroclub hangars (9 is a rotten old structure that shouldn't have been standing in the first place, it basically blew apart)
7, 5 and 4 are private buildings - 5 lost its eastern wall
2 is a half round barn design building that houss the aeroclub's glider - part of that roof collapsed
They told me in July that the Council wants them to relocate all the buildings on to the other side of the runway but it's meeting resistance with the airport members, probably cause it's basically in the Firth over there lol.
I'm bound to be up there in the next week or so and can take some pics, get names of buildings if you want.
Matt,..............
YES PLEASE mate !!
Anything i can get is greatly appreciated !!
Thanks for the info on some of the building numbers......ashton wrote:QUOTE (ashton @ Dec 15 2007, 07:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>17 is the Clay target Club for Thames
