Yesterday my early afternoon slumber was interrupted by a sound I had not heard for many a long year....a Westland Scout helicopter cruising at 'flight idle glide', funny I thought 'I'm in New Zealand' anyway sure enough, right overhead an Ex British Army Scout. I managed to get a photograph to prove to myself that I'm not going crazy! Further investigation has led me to Wanaka airfield, where two Scouts have been rebuilt over the past two years. I will let you know their numbers when I visit next week. I am off to Dunedin and the Catlins tomorrow for five days. Cheers everyone, Basha
