Some aviation shows I'd love to hear...

[Dave Homewood]

Just browsing the New Zealand Sound Archives site with listings of radio shows from the past. You can purchase most of them, but they ain't that cheap sadly.

Here is but a sample of the many really interesting sounding shows they have:

Wow, there's some amazing history in that archive. I wish it was online and downloadable. Mind you, if you listen to Sounds Historical on National Radio, 8-10pm Sundays, Jim Sullivan pulls all sorts from these very archives for another listen and he often has aviation history on the show.
