Searching for a book by Richard Waugh and Peter Lane
Wondering if there’s anyone out there who remembers an enterprising start up airline called SPANZ , ‘South Pacific Airlines of New Zealand ‘. They flew DC3 passenger planes across the country , 1960’s era, with flights especially targeted at overseas tourists , enabling them to explore parts of the country by landing at some of the lesser known
air ports throughout NZ .
I am looking for a second hard back copy this book shown below . Click on camera symbol below to view a copy of the book .
Thank you to anyone who might still have a copy , I would love to have one as my father ( long gone ) was one of the chief pilots for SPANZ .

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
