My trip to Mandeville.

Earlier this year I headed to Mandeville for a few days.

Great shots again Gavin.
I haven't looked at them all yet, as I'm at my grandparents and stuck on dial up (yuk) but I'm sure they're all good.
Sounds like you had a pretty good time in Mandeville.

Cool - love the period head ware/gloves etc of the guy in the FoxMoth. Is that a US registered Staggerwing?

[Gavin Conroy]

The Staggerwing is a masterpiece.
It is US registered and is owned by Bill Charney who will be flying it home to the US later this year or early next year.

Will it be coming back? I really liked seeing it down at Warbirds over Wanaka.
I hope it will be there again in 2010

I doubt it will be back as Bill is originally from the US and intends flying it home.
It is currently having engine work done at Fielding.
When he heads of his is going to send me progress reports as to how things are going so I will post them here.
Very interesting guy and great to work with.
He Flew F-100s among other aircraft.

That's a pity that it won't be coming back.
Engine work at Fielding, I wonder if I could go and see it (we might be going to Fielding soon to see my great grandma)
The Staggerwing is a masterpiece and so are the rest of these pics that I looked at today.
