The shared office space located at the sharp pointy end of Vickers VC-10 G-ASCG at Duxford Aviation Wing of the Imperial War Museum, Cambridgeshire, England, United Kingdom.

Beautifully restored and maintained, this super superb swift brought back many a memory of childhood travels between Blantyre, Malawi and Heathrow in the later 1960s and early 1970s.

Pouto Point - "rahui"

Saturday, 10th March 2012; Ngati Whatua o Kaipara "rahui" protest ceremony at Pouto Point, a tiny settlement located at the lowest point on the North Head of the Kaipara Harbour, New Zealand. Local Maori have placed the rahui, or ban, on any use of the area and are vowing to do whatever it takes to stop the underwater power turbine development, following concerns over the threat it places upon the harbour's natural habitats and resources.

A NIWA study has found that up to 98 percent of snapper on the west coast of the North Island had spent some of their formative years in the Kaipara Harbour, (the second largest natural harbour in the World).

Pouto Point is approximately one hours drive directly South from the regional town of Dargaville and just over three hours drive North from Auckland City. Interestingly, the Northern part of the Kaipara falls outside the domain of the Auckland Super City control, where the power turbine development application was denied and thus prohibited. However, the Northland Regional Council agreed to the application, and 200 underwater turbines will be installed in the Kaipara Harbour entrance, only a few hundred metres North of the "dotted line on the map" between the Super City and that of Northland Region.

Kaipara Crown challenge

Shelly Beach, Kaipara Harbour, 9 September 2011.

Members of Ngati Whatua O Kaipara offer traditional challenge to representatives of the Crown as they arrive to complete years of Treaty settlement negotiations.

The best part of the day - when the representative speakers of Ngati Whatua passed back to the government Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations Minister, Mr Chris Finlayson, a cheap polyester blanket and a six-pack of Lion Red beer cans. Returned as a token of what Ngati Whatua had similarly been given for their lands, during a process of land "reallocation" by the NZ Government in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A classic moment that was greeted with a great deal of humour by all those present.
