When Christchurch had a viewing deck...
When Christchurch had regular Boeing 747 flights...
When Christchurch saw Coast Air flying into it.
Thanks to Alistair for this great photo!

Still sad about the loss of that old terminal and viewing deck. Many great memories up there. The new terminal is just horrible.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo!
I hadn't really thought about it much Cameron, but now that you mention it, I agree with you. The upper level of the old terminal had an ethereal quality about it-usually sundrenched and offering a wide view of the apron.
ReplyDeleteThe new one just seems banal and soulless.
Spent many happy hours on the viewing decks as a young fellow in the 1960's and 70's. Great times.
