You will find a few Nelsonians here on NZFF. I am not from Nelson but I went to college there and did most of my flight training there as well. I must have lived there nearly 7 years but not any more, wish I could go back though

I now live in Blenheim but I done my flight training in Nelson back in the early 1950s.
Those days Nelson aeroclub had 2 Tigermoths 2 Austers and a de Havilland DH.84 Dragon
