right. RIGHT. I am slapping myself across the face with a ferral wet fish at this moment. I got the Lost and missing books mixed up. My little side question was about the cover of missing.

Great topic Ian - I read that more than a third of the "Missing" list went missing in that neck of the woods.
While "NZ Bermuda Triangle" might be a bit dramatic, it sure is rugged country.
Small wonder the locals whisper knowingly about Moas wandering around there, unfettered and undisturbed by humankind...

Next question, Bestpilot?

by **bestpilotindaworld** » Wed Oct 29, 2008 7:30 am

Right

" What was ZK-TZR first flight in service to, with Soundsair? What was its call sign?"

by **bestpilotindaworld** » Mon Nov 03, 2008 7:13 am

A185f are you going to post a new question?

You could always pass it on to someone.

by **Alex** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 4:40 pm

Seeing as it's been nearly three weeks since last question, I'm going to jump in and chuck one up. If Mr. A185F (

) wants to come back in with his, just chuck it in over top Ben.

So, a nice simple one to get back in the flow...

When was the first scheduled trans-Tasman TEAL service? What aircraft was used (type + name)?

For the bonus marks; Who was the Captain, and who was the First Officer?

Shorts S30 empire Class Flying boats I know that because one of my customers
Mr Overthrow (yes its his real name.....and he's heard all the cricket jokes) actually
came to Nz many moons ago to fly them. Sorry no bonus points for me though
Nunner

by **Alex** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 5:47 pm

Halfway there Nunner, just need 'When', and the name of the flying boat (I suppose you could say they were all 'christened'

).

that ta be Shorts C class ZK-AMA Aorearoa .....Captain J W Burgess 30th April 1940 .. 10 passengers

by **Alex** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 9:41 pm

Well, you guys have mostly got it, I'll throw in the date. Neil Rennie's 'Conquering Isolation' was where I got this one from, just the foreword, interesting book, worth a read if you get a chance. 30th April 1940, climbing up at 200fpm to a cruising altitude of 5000ft.

Not sure who takes this away, Ian or Nunner, or maybe A185F will come back with his question?

Alex

by **Ian Warren** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 9:44 pm

I think Nunner is an Ian too

over to you Ian

Alex , thanx for the book title , one i dont have , Neil Rennie's 'Conquering Isolation' guess ill have to source a copy
