A SPECIAL visitor coming to us Sunday....
This Sunday 1 May the Royal Australian Airforce will be paying us a visit with a C130J Hercules.
You may recall this type aircraft visited us once before, during a medi-vac of one of their members. - It was very impressive.
This is the model C130 the RNZAF have on order.
This time a more mundane reason for a visit as we are the last stop of an around NZ tour.
Expected time of arrival is 1000 (10:00 am) and will leave just an hour later.
Worth coming out and having a look.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
