NZFF

You gotta love that New Zealand history documentary of 25 years of the New Zealand 737, I guess they could make a doco 50 years in New Zealand registry. Concorde and Avonhead primary school, in the school library and all the talk was this Concorde and Boeing 747, the aircraft books were always getting taken out by me, other big one on the stage incoming was the Galaxy, I thought back then we would never see these in New Zealand only four years later both the 747 and the Galaxy overflew Christchurch on separate occasions .. and the Concorde , that become a regular visitor ! so much for my...

Cripes, still remember the hype being the first of its type, Cathy Pacific had one overfly Christchurch in late 1996, I really do like those time lapse videos.

Very cool shame to say goodbye to the 767.

Still is Mike ... bloody rain , but the farmers down here really need it. I am 90km inland, and we only got the edge of the rain - barely 100mm. Our farmers are very happy with that. The traditional May rains have been very erratic lately, and if your soil moisture profile is not right by Queen's Birthday weekend (early June) there is no point planting your winter wheat, so you write off half your yearly income. :unsure:

I'll get that organized ! .. If I go wrong you can knock my block off!

Really going to try and make that weekend work ... would be great to catch up with you and the big guy again. Watch this space young Mike. It would be great to have that small fat bald headed guy Umm! Woops no thats not Marty how about a tall skinny guy pay a visit again and if he brings his brother along I am sure I can find them a couple of beds for for the weekend.

On those bikes you really were flying, if I was on my own I cranked it, if carrying someone it was super care, never had a problem , the Ruapuna race track was fun , all hell and leather, you were flying, jeez when I look at it today, have a mate who dose that circuit and he has been clocked at 320 KPH , mind you I had a sports tourer , Wayne's bike is a hard ass racer!

Look's like it will be ideal for you this weekend to hook into it yourself :)

I have NO IDEA what your talking about Marty.. have you been taking Ianglish lessons ?!?!?! ;-) Sounds intriguing tho, any pics? Not yet mate ... and Im sorry, pics would give the post some context ....working on it.

"Did you ever read such tosh?" :rolleyes: and to think my original team leaders name at General Cable was nicknamed 'Tosh' .. happened to short for his last name , he was a conspiracy theorist .. YEAH ! one of those :blink: ... as for the Propeller .... Oh don't worry .. it'll turn up :D

I am certainly working on it :D

Funny thing SUBS .. I said to my brother the other day where were these fantastic toys when we were kids!

I did not think it had any connection to Air New Zealand other then it ..... being on the cover :wacko: ... WOW Give that book to my mate 'The Donald' for his birthday :D

Ok now we have the raw material and with the measures done it is now time to practice my knowledge. You can see the keel plate , this is not the entire length but from the point off the bow to the rudder post known as the PP @ 530 ft length. This is not the full beam of scaled 55 ft as the hull curves up to the armour belt. and side hull plating. So lets turn a cardboard box that was to be rubbished into something that is going to look like this , Idea this time of the year I can get the hull near complete or at least were I can build other smaller parts on rubbish days , and today is my...

I totally agree and love reading the history behind it.

My big problem is personally correcting all the individual E-Mail details on the various Services; Council, Rent, Gas, Electric, Water, Shops, various Businesses, Hospital, Doctor, everything else I can think of....etc...etc...etc.... True, Paul - for those things you will need to login to your account at those suppliers (use your old email addy) and edit your details to update as required. Some of them might pick up the bulk email you sent to all your friends, but there's no guarantee businesses etc will know how or even be able to change things - it would have to be done using the...
