), anyway - pictures;
HRO on a pad

ZK-EFI, which was also there

ZK-FEO, which was way out in the lake...

And the legendary VAS

Another water-craft right next door

Close up of HRO

EFI departing, having been pushed out - and right after this shot it started its engine

Taxiing (?) out of the gate (?) area

Speeding up a little bit, the wind was a South-Westerly, so it went out for quite a bit then took off across my field of vision

IBA coming in from the airport (I saw it there as I drove into town)

Landing next to HRO

HRO and IBA - see the my end note for what I have learnt

IBA lifting off with 3 pax on board

Flying out for a trip to Mt Tarawera

HRO also lifting off - heading over to Mt Tarawera with IBA

It looked a bit unseemly a couple of times as it flew away from its pad

Empty again...
What I learnt was, don't ever try and take photos just about into the Sun! Looking down the jetty you are looking North-East, and as it was morning the sun was glancing off the water and going all over the place. I've had to tweak a couple of the images to get them to look ok
.Thanks for looking,
Alex
