It's less than a week away and surprisingly I havn't heard a peep about the upcoming WoW (featuring a flying Spitty for the first time) mentioned here!
There must be at least one NZFF'er attending the show- unfortunaltly I can't get myself down to Hood this time around, but I expect to see plenty of pics posted online from other members!

I live across the road, so I'll be there Trolly!
Also was able to obtain a media pass this time around, so hopefully I should be able to post plenty of pics for ya.

For all those coming from all around NZ and elsewhere hope you enjoy the show

Yup I'm gonna be there! Wouldn't miss the opportunity to drool over (possibly) two Spitfires...though I'm a bit concerned about not being able to find much progress news on Brendan Deere's Mk IX - the organisers of Wings told me as long ago as April that it was meant to be there, and they've even listed in on the website, but given that it was meant to have made it's first flight in November, and the restoration team's website still makes no mention of that having happened... :/
