When I was a kid it was fun going out to Ardmore and seeing all the 500cs and Ds parked outside Dalhoff & King while the boats were tied up alongside the wharves in the city.
Remember some cool looking boats such as Finnistere, Adriatic Sea, The Black Pearl, Capt M J Souza etc. That was also back in the days when Julius and Michael Zolezzi had a lot of the helos under their San Diego Helicopter Services banner. I think I still have some pics of the odd kiwi rego helo, one that springs to mind was "Big Jag" a yellow 500C flown by an American called Mike O'Brien I think it was.
Anyway just some past memories.
