Some of you may have seen the front page of yesterdays press, There was a photo of two astronuats outside some space station (lol the iss I suppose...) right over the south island.

In todays paper the press was selling prints (only like 26cmx20) for 20buks! So I just found it on the net. http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/1653 ... s_full.jpg

I hope you like it as much as me :drool:

funny thing is that one of the first concorde flights to come into Auckland WAS told to continue no2 to a C172 that joined on a close right base for Rwy 23 ( as it was then)
