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 have been 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. This series of posts is aimed at reflecting some of their
history. Recording the history of operators through Dargaville is a long term
project and I am still in the process of gathering material. 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
