My day started, I got up at 5:50am to catch NZ2350 from Rotorua to Auckland, I saw NLH on the apron as well.

So, I'll start with shots of the Harvards playing around up there;

Thanks guys, if you want to see more of a particular aircraft, yell out won't you, I've posted only about half of the images I have lying around.

Thanks Ian, actually the badges lost a bit of detail when resizing it right down, but if anyone wants large versions, yell out and I can send 'em right over. :D Yep, that CN235 over from New Caledonia I think, unfortunately the specs sign was in french, I meant to take a photo of the sign, but I didn't remember. :rolleyes:

Brilliant! Soo many airplanes :P

Great photos of the 75's engins, the flight deck is awsome too, very close to a 76's, do you have more photos of the interior? I'v quite often woundered what it looks like inside there 757s.

Thanks for posting, and they didn't take to long on dial up eathier, although glad you managed to get em down to 53 :clap:

Wicked pics Alex :clap: I really love the sunset ramp shots at Rotorua there!

BTW what time did the King Air depart? I never saw it leave although when I was walking out the gates its spot on the ramp was empty?

Also, how did you get inside the Dove/Devon? When I went there it was all closed up :(

Thanks James, nope, thats my only photo of the inside of the 75, its a single aisle aircraft, up the front it has two massive seats on each side of the aisle. And for further back, I think Trolly has a pic of it posted. ;)

Thanks Trolly, yea, my favourite pic would be the last one of the Convair (now decorating my desktop :P ) or that last pic of the Beech B200. When I walked out at just after 4 (maybe 4:05) it had its engines running, and a couple of mins later it taxiied and departed, so maybe a departure around 4:10?

And the Devon, well, not actually inside the aircraft, but leant over the door and stuck my arm out with the camera and hoped for a good shot;
