The first two snips are a little glimpse into Air Chathams family from Di from Pitt... one of the great personalities on Pitt!
Was fortunate to have an amazingly clear day with all the
Chathams and surroundings so starkly standing out when Mathew flew me to Chats
for my conservation meeting just recently. I don’t recall seeing such a sheer
unbroken view of the landscape perhaps a photographer’s dream day just
magnifique. Am so comfortable and at ease with Mathew’s flying am now dreading the
time when we get a change, please not sirs. Mathew for those who don’t know him
is the son of the big Air Chathams chief and chieftess and could possibly be an
up himself jerk, however, he is the most delightfully, down to earth, casually pleasant
unpretentious young man you’d find anywhere, perhaps or a farm or under a
bonnet, he’d fit in anywhere. When you’re out there flying those big birds,
further down the track please don’t change, you’re a great pilot and a really
cool guy just the way you are mate. Thanks for my co-pilot seat, hope I don’t
get above my earthly calling in life now that would be scary for everyone and
me too.

Was lucky to get an unexpected trip home after the
unfortunate earthquake7.8 which hit round the Kaikoura area and due to that the
big Air Chathams plane didn’t fly. Now that was up there with the top brass literally
that day. The big chief and chieftess and young chief in waiting all flew to
Pitt. Was rather offended when the boss man got into the co-pilot seat but
thought it was a bit rude to say ‘hey mate that’s my seat when flying with
chief in waiting’ so I was relegated to the middle. Presumably he must have
known what he was doing in that seat anyhow, the chieftess and Jess sat behind
me, so I guess they were putting age before beauty, very thoughtful. A great
flight and very posh to be up there with the elite folk. Thanks Emeny family
you’re actually pretty good buggers!
