The Walsh Memorial Scout Flying School Yesterday

The annual Walsh Memorial Scout Flying School at Matamata attracts a variety of aircraft from all over New Zealand offering budding young pilots aged 16-19 to take to the skies. As well as the training aircraft instructors fly in their own aircraft and others visit. On 11 January 2015 I caught up with a number of aircraft!

  4. Hi Steve, thanks for the post. As it turns out, I have flown EVD, TAW and TAQ in the past. Also, NPL was parked up at Wellington Aero Club for many months being refurbed. It was never online with us and was flown out for the Walsh.
