You guys!! LOL! Before we get too much of a thread drift...from my observation "aircrafts" has become the norm! ("aeroplanes" Dave)

I don't recall ever seeing the word aircrafts. And aeroplanes is right.

Re the Percival Prince aircraft in Samoa, there was a TEAL connection as TEAL seconded at least one of their co-pilots to fly the type. D.R.A. Eden, he later became AirNZ's Flight Operations manager.

Yes, sorry Dave, I know it's in the dictionary, I just hate the use of the 'transportation' - waste of lertters, but yes, back on topic - rant over.

To add another drift to this thread: When arranging payment last Friday for our next overseas trip, the woman at the BNZ tried to tell me that as airline flights are not transportation I did not need to charge them to my BNZ Visa card to activate the card's travel insurance (the T's & C's require all transportation to be paid through the card).
Where do they get these people?

ZK-APT 3 Nice to see classic New Zealand airliners (types) providing a service to the public. Taken this past weekend.

Take a flight in that Fox if you possibly can. A real blast from the past.

I haven't been for a flight in APT, but I did go for a flight in ADI a few years ago. And I got to share the cabin with a couple of Hokitika old-timers who had flown in the old girl when they were kids and Bert Mercer was the pilot. Does that count?

Well, I have flown in both of them so that surely counts.
