Autumn Update
I had a sense it had been a while since my last update, but I see it’s less than a month! I will try to keep more up to date than I have done in recent years. Just a motley collection of shots from April at Wellington. First up, a common sight that won’t be…

Ohakea 2008+
I am frequently to be found trawling through old photos looking for something specific, or perhaps looking to update a watermark before sharing somewhere. It was the latter case, recently, when I spotted a bunch of photos I took at RNZAF Base Ohakea Open Day, 2008. Here is just a taster of some of the…

High Flyers
In recent months I have managed to spot quite a number of ‘high flyers’ — high altitude flights transiting the area. Some are closer than others, but when the sky is clear I can get decent shots with my camera from 30,000 or more feet below. For each photo, the caption states the aircraft identity,…

Trip of Plenty
In December I made a brief trip to the Bay of Plenty area and I was able to capture quite a few interesting aircraft, even with limited time. Our primary destination was Rotorua. We took several walks down by Lake Rotorua, where Volcanic Air Safaris operate a selection of aircraft, including New Zealand’s only registered…

New and Exciting
In recent months, I have captured two new-to-me types. (Well, almost.) Qantas started up a new service between Brisbane (BNE) and Wellington (WLG). From what I have heard, they selected the Embraer E190 aircraft to gauge demand, rather than the usual trans-Tasman Boeing 737-800s used into Wellington. The latest news is they will soon up-gauge…

Wellington Noteworthy
It has been a long time since I posted here. Again. I’m going to remedy that with not one but six new posts. I’ll schedule them to roll out over the next week or two. First up is a selection of more interesting aircraft taken at Wellington International Airport since my last post in July…

Changi 2023
As mentioned in the last post, I visited Singapore again this year. As with my last trip, a fair bit of my last day was spent at the airport and of course I had my camera handy. However, I did not spend as long this time, and the weather didn’t quite cooperate, as you will…

A Trip North
I’ve just got back from a short road trip which gave me the opportunity to drop into two airfields. First was Taupo Airport, where I arrived just in time to see Taupo Tandem Skydiving‘s Cessna 208 Caravan, ZK-TTS, departing at speed — before I could get my camera ready. However, I stuck around and was…

15 Years Today
A quick post just to mark the 15th birthday of this blog. (I know; nothing for six months and then two in less than a week.) Much has changed in 15 years, but the goal remains the same — provide a friendly face to my aviation photography. A couple of recent changes include moving to…
