There's plenty more yet, when I get around to formatting them for posting.

Such as this amazing air-to-air shot of ZK-AMO “Aranui” approaching Auckland on 4th May 1950....



It's just a matter of finding the time to get around to sorting through the rest. I'll probably start a few separate threads covering such topics as TEAL's S.30 Empire flying-boats; the four Mk.3 Sunderland transport 'boats operated by the RNZAF, then NZ National Airways Corporation (they were a follow-on from the 4th batch of Sunderlands produced for BOAC); TEAL's Sandringham 'boats (one of which is on display at Southampton); and TEAL's magnificent Solent Mk.4 'boats. You've seen the photos of those operating into and out of Wellington, but there are plenty more photos of Solents at Auckland, Sydney and throughout the South Pacific.

Watch this space....they will appear eventually.
