Waiheke Island
Can anyone tell me if the current Waiheke Island airstrip is on the same site as the one Rex/Dalhoff & King/Motor Holdings used to fly into on their regular passenger service back in the 70's & 80's?
It was a 'company instructor only' airstrip back then & I only flew in once as a passenger. I remember it was roughly north/south, had a hump in the middle & the 'terminal' (shack) was on the eastern side, approximately half way along. However, the memory isn't what it used to be, so that may all be incorrect.
The current one is north/south & in about the correct spot on the island, but doesn't have the hump. It also has a parking area at the southern end, so I am unsure if it is a development of the old strip or a completely new one.
