I'll give it to you, answer is Napenape. Here's a bigger pic showing Napenape to the left, Hurunui River Mouth in the middle and Port Robinson and Gore Bay to the right.

Oh and a big photoreal/non-photoreal transition across the whole picture.

That looks very similar to that B-17 Base they nearly commissioned during WWII in mid Canterbury , sorta just a little bit outside Ashburton

by **Syncop8r** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 12:23 pm

Yes and no. The location is slightly off...

by **Ian Warren** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 12:36 pm

I was not to say the old Weddons airstrip , another old base uesd by US Navy personel during the 1954-55 Operation back in the day 'James Bond' flew gyrocopter,s

How about, at a place called Te Pirita, in the Selwyn / Rakaia area..................
Built in 1942, by the Public Works Department and the RNZAF, comprising 2x 2,135 metre stablilised grass runways.

Yep that's Little Nellie from You Only Live Twice. Quite generously powerful model.

Lawrie, you're exactly right

(although I recall we talked about that place

).
Ian, you kinda had it too.
