There is an excellent news article tracing the history of the airfield at Ashburton here

And if anyone is interested in the RNZAF's history on the airfield, I have updated my RNZAF Stations page entry on the airfield here

There is a fly in and commemoration at Ashburton this weekend. I thought it was great that the invite e-mailed out to Sport Aircraft people specifically asked for aircraft to fly overhead the town when joining - normally procedures suggest the opposite for noise reasons.... Go Ashburton!
