Howard Wright Ceremony - Saturday 5th February 11am

The Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators is holding a ceremony on Saturday 5th February at 11am to commemorate the Centenary of Vivian Walsh's first flight of the Howard Wright biplane "Manurewa" at Glenora Park, Takanini in February 1911. This will be held in the park opposite 6 Airfield Road, Takanini and afterwards for light refreshments at the nearby Bruce Pulman complex off Walters Road.

The developers are on the move with tree cutting in progress. We hope the memorial will still be there when they finish?



Cheers,
Colin

I think they need a white post and rail fence around it and a concrete ground plinth - a few waratahs and safety fencing are not going to stop a bulldozer...
