Wairoa - Index of Posts

I have found the air services through Wairoa an interesting topic to research. Unlike any other centre in New Zealand its flights have been largely been governed by courier freight, including newspapers, mail, bank data and courier items. Because of this it has not been easy to research and so please do not treat this as gospel. If you have any information, additions, corrections, photos or thoughts so I can update these posts and the historical database I would be happy to hear from at westland831@gmail.com  - Cheers, Steve
