It's been another great year for Kiwi enthusiasts and I thought, as I'm not likely to get online in the next day or so, now was the perfect time to say how much I enjoy being part of this group and to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! What an excellent year of airshows, events, aircraft and people - not to mention the epic Wings Over Australia - and I hope we have a great 2016 too. All the best to everyone, their families and friends. Have a great Christmas!  |

Agreed, cool and windy here in Tokoroa but fine. It's been great making new friends this year and enjoying aviation discussion and airshows. I was a bit luckier than some getting to the UK to visit several aviation waypoints but this forum has been the link everyone uses!! Well done Dave - a clean run outfit with lots to share and read for everyone!!
Merry Christmas one and all!!!

Yes Merry Christmas everyone. Hope to do a bit on the Auster over the break so possibly a few festive Auster photos to come.

For those that haven't been able to get to any retail outlet in the past 2 months....
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
The news had come out in the First World War
The bloody Red Baron was flying once more
The Allied command ignored all of its men
And called on Snoopy to do it again.
Was the night before Christmas, 40 below
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe
He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought
With ice on his wings Snoopy knew he was caught.
Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ring out from the land
Asking peace of all the world
And good will to man
The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights
He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight
Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know
Or was it the bells from the village below.
Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man
The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine
And forced him to land behind the enemy lines
Snoopy was certain that this was the end
When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend!"
The Baron then offered a holiday toast
And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host
And then with a roar they were both on their way
Each knowing they'd meet on some other day.
Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man
1966 Phil Gernhard/Dick Holler
