Dargaville - Index of Posts

Dargaville holds a unique place in New Zealand history – the town that received the first air mail by aeroplane. Throughout the years Dargaville’s civic leaders were keen for the town to have a regular air service. Largely, however, the town’s ambitions have not been met. There were, however, some who tried. I would be most grateful for any information, photos, stories you might have about air services through Dargaville and, after they are posted, corrections and omissions to me at westland831@gmail.com - Thanks, Steve
