My Wises touring map said there was an Albatross colony near Dunedin, which seemed as good an excuse as any...

Bye, fellas!

A Lyttle place

A bigger place

Can't see any whales out there...

Didn't see the mountain, either...

And then I realised I couldn't make New Plymouth, never mind Auckland, and had to divert to NZWN.
Probably should have reduced from full rich after Dunedin, not about abeam Kaikoura.

In its day , the "bird " would have been the bee knees .. today tho , Its a linage to an Insect just left our shores

What I like is, the DH91 entered revenue service a few months before the HP42 was withdrawn. So you could have seen both on the apron at Croydon. That's progress.

Strange you mention Croydon ,I just happened to watch a Doco about the history of that airport last night .. the Deco style build .. first airport with a control tower built with and all sorts .

What a stunningly beautiful airliner the DH-91 is..pity WW2 got in the way.
