NZFF

My sincerest thanks to Charl, Alex, Paul (Naki), Barry (Bazza), Derek (Spongebob 206), and all the NZFF members for your kind thoughts during my time in hospital, and for the absolutely fabulous book, "NAC, The Illustrated History of New Zealand National Airways Corporation, 1947-1978".



What an absolute treasure this book is,........... covering both my favourite period of New Zealand Aviation, and my love for old propliners.
My wife, Raewyn, also sends her thanks for thinking of me during this time.
I am back at home now, resting for the next few weeks before returning to the "real world" ( ie" WORK) .

Lawrie.

Glad to here you are getting better.

Take care and enjoy the reading (and Pics)


Cheers

You're most welcome Lawrie, enjoy the read.

Alex

Gudday Neil,.......
You would really LOVE this book mate !!
If would really recommend this to anybody interested in this era of NZ aviation History.
Its an absolute treasure trove ...............

Lawrie.

Glad you're back again Lawrie haven't had a new airfield for weeks.................

I'm sure the cover picture of your new book (well picked Paul !!) is the one I was flying in when the hosty dumped a hot coffee into my
goolies - much to my wife's amusement. NAC were right into public relations in those days and I was given a dry-cleaning voucher - never
had any more children though....

Stay well.
