AUCKLAND REGIONAL MICROLIGHT AERO CLUB. (ARMAC)
WHENUAPAI
Fantastic Whenuapai Fly in Sat 21st June. Thanks to Brian Millet and Gunther Bartel who sparked the idea and obtained approval from Base Commander, Wing Commander Stuart MacKenzie and Base Operations Flt Lt Neal Crowford. Thanks to the Host Club at Whenuapai for making us most welcome and letting us use their facilities with new carpet and our muddy boots. The RNZAF gave us guided tours and their Controllers, Sqdn Ldr Chub Roberts and Adam Lawson gave up their casual Saturday to sort our motley lot out. Thanks too, to the Gliding Club and other operators who kindly shut down their Ops to let us "invaders" in and out, the Roskill Modellers at Pikes Point who did likewise, and lastly, to our own pilots who followed their briefings and instructions, generally displayed great airmanship and were a credit to their respective Clubs.

Thanks for a great day Whenuapai and long may the airfield stay operating. Keep up the good work to keep it going Mayor Bob. |

Look carefully in the middle. Is this flying Bantam Business Class? |

50 mins after, "The fly in is today Don, not tomorrow!" TOY touched down at Whenuapai. |
Just too sleek, should be banned. Causes me depression. Devon 08 from Ardmore in background. |

Gary's SOLar clock, (sundial) was out by 30 min due cloud cover so was 10 min late. SOL will be appropriated to the Defence Dept in due course. |
Who sez class doesn't matter. Young Mathew was seen wandering off hand in hand with a pretty girl not long after arrival. |
