Thanks for the info 1Charlie.
That is encouraging.
Do you work for Airways? If so, what are they like to work for?.
And is there much scope for moving to a new aerodrome later if I want to relocate?
As for it being definitely warmer in NZ.... I'm not so sure. My wife has been doing some research and it seems there are plenty of places in NZ with lower average temps than here! They just have more sunshine to go with it.
Many thanks.
