There is a very likely chance once i am fully set up that i will need to hire people to work with me. People I am looking for are. Some one that is good with admin and can organize and learn at the same time sorting out different items and recording them on a spreadsheet and someone that is also good with negotiations in person or over the phone. I would also like to find someone that is good with repairing electronics that would also donate there time. Lastly but of course not least one or 2 people to help me break down components separating materials. Once again thank you all for your support and donations and I wish everyone a happy new year in 2026. Thank you the urban gold hunter. Pete

Air Force Museum of NZ
Rationing in the 1940's
Monday 4 May 2026 1.30pm - 2.30pm

This presentation highlights the effects of rationing on the New Zealand home front during World War Two. It covers subjects such as ration books, items that were rationed, substitutes to rationed items, and wartime ration packs used by military
personnel. A great showcase of how the
average civilian, and those who were
serving, coped with wartime shortages.
This presentation is supported by
photographs from the museum’s archive
and collection items.

All welcome and bring a friend

Increasing the cost of fuel in anticipation before any actual justification I regard as blatant premeditated theft.
The CEO's who condone this premature theft for their share holders BEFORE they have any justified reasons will not be so quick and prematurely reduce the price when the situation is reduced.
Nor if the situation is quickly restored will they arrange payback if they have over reacted.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
