I spent Tuesday and Wednesday morning at the Whangarei library researching for future posts... a nice warm spot in the midst of these cold days. I found lots of great material but a couple of things I didn't find were...
When did Southern Cross Airways end their Auckland-Whangarei service?
When did Whangarei Air Taxis start using the GAF Nomad ZK-NDB on their Auckland-Whangarei service?
A quick trip to Whangarei and North Shore airports on the way home yielded a few bits and pieces.

Meanwhile, at North Shore not much was happening as I drove past apart from Cessna 185 ZK-WHJ taxiing to the southern hangars. Taken at North Shore on 17 August 2011 by S Lowe |
