The annual Walsh Memorial Scout Flying School at Matamata attracts a variety of aircraft from all over New Zealand offering budding young pilots aged 16-19 to take to the skies. As well as the training aircraft instructors fly in their own aircraft and others visit. On 11 January 2015 I caught up with a number of aircraft!

Hi Steve best wish,s for this year. Thanks for the memory jog. ah Waharoa. Not been back there for some time . Wonderfull to see the Walsh is still a regular yearly event ,and that so many people are still giving their time freely to help young people get into the air .

DeleteHi Steve, thanks for the post. As it turns out, I have flown EVD, TAW and TAQ in the past. Also, NPL was parked up at Wellington Aero Club for many months being refurbed. It was never online with us and was flown out for the Walsh.
