Wanaka Airshow

Friday 6th April

We came to the South Island to see 'Warbirds over Wanaka ', and today was the day. Here are some of the better pictures of over 150 taken.

We went fairly early and found that they were very well organized, parking vehicles, checking tickets etc. We had 'Silver Tickets' that gave us seats in the 'Silver' stand.

We noted a line-up of camper vans,up on the adjacent bank with much cheaper seats than ours!












The highlight of the day was the flying skills of a model aircraft flyer, Frazer Briggs, who could make the plane do anything, including hanging in the air in front of him.

There wasn't a breath of wind all day - not even the tiniest cloud - so it was very hot. We plastered on lots of sunblock and don't seem any the worse after a very hot day.

Back at camp: the places has really filled up. The main days at the airshow are Saturday and Sunday. We will be quite pleased to move on tomorrow. Homeward bound!!
