Flying to Shenzhen, China, from Zhengzhou. Complete indexed photo collection at WorldHistoryPics.com.
Dairn flying an Aztec from Kaitaia to Hawera and giving Ward Weldon from Chicago a special New Zealand memory. A really good fly by for all of us, actually. Shark's Tooth is to the left and the summit to the right. In between is the crater. The normal climbing entrance to the crater is through the obvious gap. Between 1968 and 1974 I climbed to the summit of Taranaki many times (although with a break while living in Scotland in 1971-2).
The greatest vertical height gain in 1 day that I ever did was in 1974 when a group of us climbed to the summit from the North Egmont car park and back twice within 16 hours immediately following a trek to North Egmont by way of the round the mountain track; the first being a 'dawn summit' - a climb at night to experience dawn on the summit - and the second to guide a a school party from Palmerston North.
I was dragged to exceed my fitness level because one of my companions on that day was Nick Banks, who later became the second New Zealander to climb Everest. To the best of my knowledge he is now a mountain guide and an instructor of climbing instructors living in or around Glencoe in Scotland.

“Views of our flight over Ipswich in the Mazda airship in 1995 by Marian and Barry Jordan who are both members of The Ipswich Society.”
Back in mid May 1995 Marian and Barry Jordan had a very pleasant surprise. They had been customers of the local Mazda car dealer for some time and were regarded by them as being worthy customers.
As a reward for their custom they were selected to board the Mazda airship when it came to Ipswich on a leg of its trip round the country advertising the brand. With them came a competition winner from the area plus the pilot of the aircraft as they headed smoothly off to the north-west towards town.
The journey which took forty-five minutes, found them soaring gently to about five hundred feet over Nacton Road; cruise towards the town passing over Marion’s mother’s house in Clapgate Lane. Barry and Marian were able to continue filming and snapping away at the views before turning to fly over the town centre and the Cornhill. Although it’s not possible to see photographs of the whole trip, they flew over the north of the town towards Whitton over Whitehouse then turning towards the river following it down towards the wet dock. They flew over what was to become the Waterfront where it was possible to see the beginnings of the development there. Further down the river, Ostrich Creek was visible before sight of the glorious new Orwell Bridge came into sight. Finally, turning left they flew unhurriedly back to Ipswich airport.
On their descent they were greeted by a gang of lads - the thirteen -strong support team employed to grab the guy ropes and bring the “blimp” to a halt. Marian and Barry celebrated their trip on the May afternoon with a glass of bubbly along with the other passenger as the pilot prepared to head off on his tour round the country.
The Jordans tell us it was a smooth, exciting and pleasant journey with no hairy moments, in a space about the size of the interior of a large car, it was very noisy so they had to wear headphones but the view was splendid.
And they are still customers of Mazda Cars!

According to research, 1995 was a good year for the Mazda Blimp. The ABC Lightship A60 N2022B “Mazda” was chartered for nine months, in which time it is toured 125 dealers being used to entertain clients and impress locals. It was recorded in June in Southend and filmed over Worcester in September. Mazda's marketing manager at the time said: 'When it's in an area it's a superb means of outgunning our rivals.'
There were some drawbacks, however, most notably the weather. At one point, one airship was grounded for three weeks because of low cloud and there was also the matter of its stately pace. 'When you move on to the next location it can take a long time to get there. 'You might spend two or three days flying over cows and sheep.' reported a spokesman at the time.

A view looking southeast over Princes Street and Greyfriars. After 12 years in the photographic trade in the RAF, Brian Mateer joined Fisons This was part of their Farm Photo Plan in which two cameras one with 35mm colour Infrared film and the other with 120 negative film were used. The infrared film could pinpoint any disease in the crop.
A precarious method of photographing was employed in which Brian had to stand on the pilot seat and photograph through the open window using a fast shutter speed. Generally pictures were taken at 500 feet and the whole job would take about 30 minutes.
These images were donated by Brian Mateer.

This is a recently published aerial view of Crawley taken about 1960.
The broad High Street, once used as a cattle market, is now just a car park. Most of the buildings in the lower left corner have been demolished and an ASDA supermarket occupies much of the area. In the top right corner of the picture one can see cars parked diagonally to the road. This area, Queens Square, has been pedestrianised. There have been many alterations to the square but this is one of the few which has been a real improvement.
