So sad is Wigram today ... I do ask many , what would have happened if the CHCH quake hit 10.00 AM... traffic stalled and stopped due to downed buildings , Emergency Services cant move stalled , Wigram had 3/4 UH-1 s on standby , CHCH being the second largest city and no backup .. if only the quake hit in those hours were people were hurt would have wiped the H/clucks smirk off what ever face it had and maybe opened Govt minds up to why we require a base here !

In the middle of the airshow, Ngai tahu had a big sign advertising their houses... didn't go down very well with the type of people that turn up to airshows.. dry.gif
