Hi Richard
ReplyDeleteI was there yesterday and judging by which gliders you have photographed we must have been doing the rounds (almost) together.
Thats a pity Peter, my visit wasnt planned but I hadnt been to Drury for awhile so it was certainly worthwhile
ReplyDeleteActually I don't think you and I have met since the days when you used to come into the bank in Queen St and I moved to Wellington in 1981... I have been retired in Tauranga since 2015.I work at Classic Flyers most Mondays, Fridays and also Sunday afternoons. I also do Saturdays when DC-3 AWP is doing scenics so text me on 921 0830 2185 when you next plan a visit. We are having an open day at Classic Flyers on 23 January though the DC-3 will be in Wanganui. Most aircraft with engines will be started up.
