Hi All
As David Tua would say, I found this Orsome (O for Awesome) DVD the other day. It is Called New Zealand Transport Memories (4 DVD) Set.
The 4 DVD’s in the set are:
New Zealand Road Memories
Classic New Zealand Aviation
New Zeland Maritime Memories
The New Zealand Railway Story
Not being into roads, ships or trains, I have only watched the Classic New Zealand Aviation DVD, and it is fantastic. I have not been that entertained for quite a while.
It has 9 separate chapters being:
Classic Years
Night Flight Documentary
New Reel – International Airports
1953 Wellington Airport
Mangere Air Display
Air Freight
Top Dressing
1958 Newsreel RNZAF
Jetabatics
Highlight for me was the 1953 Wellington Airport chapter. I did not realise that three Vulcan’s came for the opening and did a flypast. Also did not know that there was a B29 and other fighter jets like a Voodoo….
This really is a great video of a great era in NZ Aviation.
There is a web site, but I am not sure of availability, best to ring them first:
www.transpressnz.com/Aviation.html
Here is the Website, there are two other “Classic Aviation” DVDs also available, which after watching this first one, I will now try and get:
Just spoke to them and you can get a three box set for $50.00 + Postage.
