A very interesting new NZ aviation related website I stumbled across and thought I'd share with you- http://www.findlostaircraft.co.nz/

Had no idea so many aircraft were classified as missing in a country with a relatively small landmass and with aviation history hardly spanning 100 years!

Anything with a mystery aspect incites me anyway- all the more intriguing that it has something to do with aviation!

Interesting site. Didn't know about some of these missing aircraft.

Isn't it evident?? Boeing are my favourite aircraft.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.

“LOST ...without trace?â€￾ by Richard Waugh, a must for your bookshelf , and there are a amazing selection I have many books more recent .. was one by Richard Waugh which also dwells into New Zealand Aviation history including many of the forgotten airlines .

"Missing!" Should also be on your bookshelfs. I have been a keen follower of this website and Gavin's reasearch and explorations. If anyone has anything to contribute, make sure you do !

That's a good website. One that has always intrigued me is the Tomahawk that went missing in/en-route from the Ardmore training area. Presumably it's in the Hunuas somewhere.
