Yes it will be great to see - I have seen the one at Duxford but that is all. I hope they fly over at 500ft!

I don't think anyone should be making any further comments on this incident while under court proceedings. There are always Pros and Cons in any situation and incident such as this and any discussion would prejudice the writ or defence thereof. Graeme

This recent launch 16th December came just 5 weeks after the previous one "It's Business Time" on 11th November. They are rocking and rolling!! Well done Peter Beck, his team and Rocket Lab!

And I should be there with at least one passenger, maybe two, but to confirm closer to the time and will deposit money then. Graeme

Perhaps it was windy on approach and needed power for control and ability to go around.

Thanks Errol - I flew in and out on ZK-CIE with 47 others - a long day but back home via family in Hamilton that night. CIE has great leg space, great stopping power on landing and was a delight to fly in. Thanks for you pics - I never saw the helicopter lineup - perhaps after we left! Or on Sunday? Wonderful memories Errol, and thanks to Geoff Soper as well, for his fab pics!!

Not that it is much help, but I was in contact with a chap who was making a catalogue of all RSA guns and I told him there were two in Tokoroa - a 50mm naval gun and a 100mm towed Howitzer. I do not think I would be able to revive the connection now I have a new hdd and upgraded laptop He appeared to be in his 40's or so.

Hmmm, I was just there two weeks ago - if I knew I would have searched her out - or at least got a photo of her!!

Forms 450 and 451 exist in the UK Archives at GBPd3.75 each. One each per month. They are a bit hard to find working through their search system, but I can grab the June lot if you like, tonight. Graeme

Suicides hurt all of those around the person at risk. Sometimes it is an easy way out but without good close family and personal connections, people can get isolated and those around can't see anything wrong as most of them seem to be able to put on a new friendly, fun face and still live with the demons inside and everyone thinks they are normal. So sad. What a loss - married too. If only... if only...
Please talk to someone behaving out of the ordinary, pre-occupied with ideas, keeping to themselves more than normal, a bit grumpier than the usual, a change in character. Get them to share. Take them for a blast of adrenalin somewhere!! Let someone else know who can help if you can't. (Edited)

Just back from 5 weeks overseas - yes I did make contact once with a 2nd cousin. But she never replied to second email. I should go back to try and make contact again.

Enjoy the journey and the many visits Dave. I also hope everyone down there has a fab time together at the various meets! Off to UK on Sunday, with Hendon and Cosford on the list...
