This blog started off by focussing on NZ's smaller 3rd level airlines, past and present. It has evolved to trying to present some record of NZ's domestic airline operations and some of the larger charter operators, interesting NZ international airliner movements and photos I have taken around the country. Comments, corrections or contributions are welcome, Steve - westland831@gmail.com

Wow, Steve! Love the shot of HLL, the best I've seen in many years. When I was growing up this machine was "the" helicopter. I drooled over the one photo I had of her, I would always cross my fingers for her to be at the airport when Dad and I visited, and I even repainted a diecast 500 - which I still have - to represent her, and I distinctly remember drawing her in my first year of school.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting that. A wonderful find :-)
As a follow-up to my comment above: do you happen to have any other photos of HLL in yellow? I had a handful from various sources but a routine Windows update a few months ago wiped everything. I'd be very grateful to see anything else you or others might have.
ReplyDeleteThat's the only photo I have of HLL sorry
ReplyDeleteNo worries, thanks anyway.
