Flying Over and Under North Head on 3 July

I had cause to be in Devonport last Friday afternoon and as it was a nice day I headed up to North Head to see if I could get a glimpse of Team New Zealand's latest foiling monohull "Te Aihe" (which translates as Dolphin).  I was not disappointed.

Just as I arrived, the nice sound of an approaching Gipsy Major heralded the flyover of the Warbird's Chipmunk ZK-RFS/WB693 with its lovely de Havilland lines.

Then in the distance the Team New Zealand flotilla headed my way.

Te Aihe is a spectacular sight when it is low flying on two foils.

It looked to be very fast as it came closer to North Head

And then it sprinted up the harbour to its base in The Viaduct.
