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.

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.

The Air Force Heritage Flight of New Zealand are excited to detail our planned 25 April 2022 Anzac Day Flypasts.
Northland
Northland played a significant part in New Zealand’s Military Aviation Heritage, including the extensive facilities at RNZAF Station Waipapakauri. The Air Force Heritage Flight is recognising the importance of Northland on Anzac Day by conducting a series of flypasts with Harvard ZK-ENB “NZ1076”. Purchased new by the RNZAF in 1944, NZ1076 is an important piece of New Zealand's military aviation heritage.
Note that the flypasts will be conducted in accordance with Civil Aviation Rules and will therefore be no lower than 1000 feet above the ground. Whilst the Harvard will not be low nor fast, we hope that you enjoy its undeniable presence and character!

He disappeared on Thursday March 17th. The lovely bookstore is just not the same without Theo's friendly greeting. Theo is a Manx (very short tail) with distinctive brown / tabby striped markings. If you know where he is - even if something awful has happened to Theo - please let Evon know on 09 4353202. Locals - please check your sheds etc - He may be hiding. Any news is better than not knowing what has happened - Please help.
Evon has asked if we could have another look. If you know what has happened, do the right thing and let Evon know.
