Events : Both on February 12th

I have been advised of the following two events:-

COMBINED CLUB DAY AND 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF MISSING DE HAVILLAND DRAGONFLY ZK-AFB

On Sunday 12 February, aviation historian, the Rev Dr Richard Waugh, has organised a fun day of activity to highlight the 50^th Anniversary of the disappearance of de Havilland Dragonfly ZK-AFB. This aircraft used to be part of the Aero Club fleet in the early 1950’s but after being sold was used by a Christchurch Airport based company, known as Air Charter, to operate scenic charter flights. On 12 February 1962 it disappeared, without trace, whilst on a flight between Christchurch and Milford Sound.

The anniversary activity is being held at West Melton airfield between the hours of 0930 and 1600 on the Sunday, 12 February 2012. The Aero Club has agreed to assist with this event, which will include a Club Day hosted by the West Melton branch of the Club as well as the presence of vintage aircraft, car and motorbike enthusiasts. The Tiger Moth Club, Jaguar Car Club along with other historic aircraft and motor-bikes with a British theme will be attending etc.
