FLYPAST ALERT: NORTHLAND AND MANAWATU-WHANGANUI!
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.

Parts of the North Island are expected to be hit by heavy rain and severe gales this week, as Cyclone Fili reaches New Zealand.

Be sure to keep mobile phones charged and ensure you have a car charger for your devices so you can keep in touch and keep informed. It also may pay to have a torch handy (they are safer than candles which can be a fire hazard) and have a gas bottle topped up for cooking.
