Default 8th Anniversary : Kiwi Aircraft Images Update

Hi Folks,
a month slipped by, and then another, and another, and before I
knew it, nearly a year has gone by since my last web site update. Changes
in domestic and work arrangments seem to have that effect! So as the site
approaches its 8th anniversary, I hope this means I'm back to regular
additions to the site. It's 8 years today since the first material was
uploaded to a web server, and the site was first advertised on Sep 4,
1996.

I've for this update I finally managed a start on the long promised RNZAF
material from my visit to Whenuapai in November last year. We feature 40
Squadron RNZAF old and new, with its latest aircraft being the new Boeing
757-2K2 (27 images) and its oldest aircraft, the Lockheed C-130H (16
images) which includes cockpit and external detail pics.

For those of you who haven't seen this site (and its been a while since I
advertised), it currently displays over 4900 original images covering
more that 200 different aircraft types and aviation activities relating to
New Zealand. This includes many warbirds, and a number of vintage
aircraft. For the modeller and enthusiast I have included a number of
'detail' photos (subjects include Spitfire, Mustang, Sea Fury, Vampire and
Harvard, and more ...). Interior photographic tours now include Lancaster
NX665, Catalina ZK-PBY, An-12 LZ-SFL, AW650 Argosy ZK-SAE and a C-130H.
The site also includes the most comprehensive listing of New Zealand
aviation related websites - over 500 links.

Next update: more from Whenuapai (probably the SH-2G(NZ) and P-3K), and
what ever takes my fancy - I still have 900 scanned photos to add.

Phil.
