I've been archiving a lot of the boys work , and dragged a few out to view ....some you will have seen recently.










Sadley no longer with us...










Gawd more later

What an interesting collection.. The 767s are almost a thing of the past. I remember many times as a young fella, pre Ansett, crossing the tarmac at Christchurch, in the rain, to board one bound for Australia. Now they barely exist. Even the 747s are becoming rare now....

My recent trip to the states was peculiar in that I managed to avoid the Airbus scourge completely. F100: Rabaul - POM, 757: POM - SYD, 777: SYD - AKL, 777: AKL - LAX, 777: LAX - AKL, 777: AKL - SYD, 767: SYD - POM, F70: POM - Rabaul...

....Ahhh Nick, you are sounding more like Ian W (RIP) everyday ... thanks for looking dude.

Well Ian and I agreed on most things...

United have gone back to the 777's now and one diverted on the 4th to CHC due to the massive storm system over Auckland. It went for about 90 min probably longer

" one diverted on the 4th to CHC due to the massive storm system over Auckland." ....This one.

It's great how the boys add so much extra 'activity' and background interest to enliven their excellent 'plane pics.

Cheers Mike ....Im dreading their return from Auckland after 6 days of intensive spotting.
A new hard drive coming up I think

I have a 4TB external drive (SSD) which is a fair bit of acreage, but it needs USB2.0 or better or it won't install itself. Of course I only found that out when I got home. It's now on the latest flying machine, and working well
