I do but the best ones are put aside for a Book that I was shooting for, for a mate who could not make it as he was flying with the Red Arrows that weekend.
He's asked me to leave him some exclusives for his Book so I am limiting myself to only a few to show right now.

Fair enough.
Hmm, choice between Wanaka and the Red Arrows... tough but for me I'd have to choose Wanaka I think.

Well, we do kind of but no airfields anywhere near them.
I have to admit, the first time I went to NZ in 2000, I was blown away with
the scenery. (and the Accents) ;-)

That photo of the Yaks is like you're flying alongside them. Were you? Or is that taken from the ground? I love that manouvre by the way, quite stunning formation flying.

Great stuff. Well done.
I love the Corsair shot too. Wasn't that a great idea where Keith Skilling commentated on his own performance? It was great to hear he even injected some humour into it.

The Corsair does look good, but that photo the 'Pig' really does it for me!  |

What accents? It's only Otago that has one! I'll tell you a short tale about one of my many trips to Australia, this time in an Andover, and any ex-linies out there might appreciate it. An Andover couldn't fly across the ditch on standard fuel capacity, but the clever buggers at Auckland rigged up a large tank which fitted in the fuselage, all plumbed and wired. the PAX had to walk around it! We visited a number of places, the last being Nowra, where the inverter fell over meaning we could fly internally, but not across the ditch. So here we are , parked on the pan at Nowra, and our resident leckie was buried in the depths of the nose, but eventually emerged and, in the manner of lineys the world over, wandered over to the hangar to seek help from the ever-obliging Skippies. He comes back with a guy in blue overalls, who turns out to be the Chief Petty Officer in charge of the servicing hangar, and they were soon deep in discussion of a technical nature. Meanwhile, as with any visiting aircraft, a gradual crowd of linies wandered out of the hangar and out to the Andover. It was warm, and as I was a mere passenger [Flt lt at the time] I was standing in the shade under the wing when I observed an immaculately dressed RAN Sub Lt appear out of the hangar, obviously wondering why his team had disappeared. I kid you not, this guy was dazzling; white shoes, white shorts, white shirt; he looked like a tennis coach. He observes the crowd out at the Andover, and walks over, only to be totally ignored. "Excuse me Chief, but why are all these people out here?" The CPO, without looking round, says; " all you naaid to knooww mate, is they're weeeth moeeo" then winks at me. The Subby muttered something like " Oh, alright then" and wandered off! And you think Kiwis are laid back?
