< PreviousAnother regular fixture on the NZ ballooning calendar, the 20th Wairarapa Balloon Festival was recently held at various sites from Masterton to Carterton, Greytown and Martinborough between 18 and 22nd April. Phil Craig attended and wrote this report for KiwiFlyer readers: Drifting above the Wairarapa This year’s Wairarapa Balloon Festival attracted two special shape hot air balloons, one of which was from overseas, although overall the number of balloons partaking was down on recent years. Known as ‘Busby the Queen’s Guard’ the foreign special shape was Cameron Ascension from the Soldiers Memorial Park at Greytown KiwiFlyer Magazine Issue 63 50 Event Report contributed by Phil Craig SS Bearskin-100 G-POMP flown by Paul Burrows from Bristol, England. The second special shape balloon, flown by Aucklander Daryl McKee, was the Mike Pero House. The first event this year was the More FM First Flight that launched from the cricket oval at Queen Elizabeth II Park in Based on these images, anyone seeking balloon sponsorship would do well to speak to Ray White or Barfoots.L-R: Pilots Ross Sale, Peter King & Mark Wilton are away.F K 51 2019 #3 Masterton. With Nicholas Oakley flying Cameron A-210 ZK-FAT acting as the ‘hare’, the hounds chased him successfully over Masterton for some time under calm and grey skies. Most successful ‘hound’ was judged to be Ross Sale flying ‘Bittersweet’. Later that evening the main streets of Greytown and Carterton witnessed the Tranzit Burner Parades where balloonists drove through town with the balloon baskets on trailers while their gas burners were ignited, lighting up the night sky. A stunning, crystal clear morning along with a frosty start on Friday provided a great opportunity for the balloonists to enjoy more flying. That day’s event was the Mass Ascension from Carterton’s Carrington Park. It was the turn of Greytown on Saturday morning to host the Resene Park to Paddock Challenge that saw balloons ascend from Soldiers Memorial Park. Light northerly winds allowed the balloons to drift south over the town and southwest toward Woodside, while two of the balloons remained tethered at the park. Unfortunately, the popular and spectacular Trust House Night Glow on Saturday evening held at the Solway Showgrounds in Masterton suffered from breezy winds that made conditions unsuitable for the event. This meant that only ‘Busby the Queen’s Guard’ was inflated, however this could not be sustained. However, several of the balloonists were able to light up the night sky to music by igniting their burners. Mother Nature stepped in again on Sunday for the Te Kairanga’s Meander over Martinborough when rain prevented any balloons inflating, while the Burger King Farewell Flight at Wairarapa College on Monday was also cancelled due to unsuitable weather conditions. The three top placings at the 2019 Wairarapa Balloon Festival were awarded as follows. First place went to Chris Bansgrove from Hamilton flying ‘Remax’ with second place getter Gail Dryland also from Hamilton in ‘Lollipop’ (for the second year running) while third place was taken out by Wellington-based pilot Scott Cursons in his balloon ‘Oh Lar Lar’. In addition Craig Scott flying ‘Jellybean’ was awarded the Spirit of the Festival Trophy, while the four ‘lead balloon’ recipients were Paul Burrows flying ‘Busby the Queen’s Guard’, John Clifton piloting ‘bel Tasman’, John Snodgrass in command of ‘Wildfire’ and first-day winner Ross Sale.

Jill writes: Extraordinary Women Pilots through the years ‘Saluting Women in Aviation’ has become my theme this month. This article is an abridged version of an article appearing, along with quite a few stories about and by women pilots, in the current issue of SoaringNZ. All records referred to are gliding records. A great deal of Yvonne Loader New Zealand Soaring contributed by Jill McCaw the information for this article comes from the New Zealand Association of Women in Aviation’s book ‘Silver Wings’ compiled by Shirley Lane and updated by Pam Collings with further information provided by gliding historians Roger Brown and Peter Layne. Helen Georgeson set several New Zealand firsts in the 1950s. Helen was the wife of Dick Georgeson, a well- known pioneer gliding world record setter. In September 1953 she became the first woman in the country to solo in a glider. Just over a year later, in December 1954, she became the first person, male or female to gain the FAI Silver badge, something which the men were not very happy about. She said she did not expect accolades, but she would have appreciated gracious acceptance. Helen took a break from flying while her children were young but in April 1961 set an absolute altitude record of 18,000 feet. Later in the year, she climbed to 22,000 feet over Mt Cook in severe turbulence but on landing discovered that someone had forgotten Helen GeorgesonRosemary GatlandAnn Johnson53 2019 #3 F K to start the barograph which would have recorded the flight. She and Dick went on to set several out and return world records and their daughter Anna was also involved in some record attempts with her father. Ann Johnson from the Piako Gliding Club was the first woman in New Zealand to gain a diamond height award but she is best remembered for a record setting 1979 flight from Tirohia to Gisborne – achieved using an AA road map as aviation maps weren’t easy to come by. The Gatland family of Auckland had several women pilots, mother Ann and daughters Margaret and Rosemary. Rosemary gained her instructor’s rating in 1967 and also took up power flying, later becoming a tow pilot. Rosemary and Margaret set a NZ Women’s multi- seat gain of height record of 7,600 feet, flying to 10,000 feet in easterly wave over Matamata. In 1968 Rosemary set further women’s records for out-and-return, straight-distance flight and distance-to-a- declared-goal. In 1969 she gained her FAI gold and diamond badges in the Kaimai wave, climbing to 25,000 feet and setting a new women’s single-seat gain of height and absolute altitude records. She could have gone higher, but she’d achieved her goal and came home. Ann Gatland also established a multi- seat record for speed around a 200 km triangle, flying with her husband Frank. In December 1983 Trudy Morris set a record speed over an out-and-return course of 200 km with a speed of 94.99 kph, flying from Paraparaumu. I have been unable to find out any more about her, so if you know of Trudy, please get in touch. Sue Ritchie, previously of the Canterbury Gliding Club was the first New Zealand woman to achieve all three diamond awards and set three New Zealand records, flying in Australia. Fellow Canterbury pilot Yvonne Loader had an extraordinary aviation career. Yvonne came to gliding as a successful aerobatic and competition pilot, forced landings was her speciality. She soon gained her gold and diamond awards, became a tow pilot and instructor and proved formidable behind the scenes of competitions, committees and recently, Youth Glide. In 1981 she broke Rosemary’s Gatland’s absolute height record with a flight of 29,650 feet and in January 1988 established a world gain of height record of 33,506 feet and a New Zealand absolute height record of 37,114 feet. Yvonne also set three multi-seat records. She was the only female tow pilot during the ’95 Glding Worlds at Omarama and continued towing, instructing and inspiring new pilots for many years. She was awarded an FAI Tissandier Diploma in 2013 in recognition of her services to gliding. Power pilot Jenny Wilkinson was influenced by Yvonne, meeting her at an ‘Airwomen’s’ rally in 1987. She came to give gliding a go and stayed. Jenny joined Yvonne in the world record stakes in 2009 with a 500 kilometre out-and-return flight at a speed of 157.97 kph. Jenny was the first woman in New Zealand, and only the fifth or sixth in the world to complete a 1000 kilometre diploma flight. Jenny is currently on the Canterbury Gliding Club’s instructors’ roster and enjoys sharing her skills and enthusiasm for gliding with budding cross-country pilots. Youth Glide is inspiring a new generation of female pilots and at a Youth Soaring Development Camp, held at Matamata in 2013 Abbey Delore and Enya McPherson raced along the Kaimais to set a record multi-seater speed over an out-and-return 100 kilometre course of 131.99 kph. They felt they could have done better and were set to ‘smash’ their own record the next day, but the weather didn’t play ball. More recently, at the 2018 Multi-Class Nationals at Matamata, 15 year old Ali Thompson, flying a Duo Discus with 22 year old Campbell McIvor, became the youngest person ever to get their name on the National Racing Class trophy. Not only a great pilot, Ali has been a driving force behind establishing and organising the Youth Glide Mini Camps. With growing numbers of girls joining Youth Glide and older women coming back to the sport as their children have grown there will be more feminine records set or broken and I see no reason why we can’t see women’s names on some of the open records as well. And, of course, women can just fly for fun. If you’re a woman who would like to try gliding, check the Gliding New Zealand website to find your local club.

Long time Nelson based gyro enthusiast and instructor Lloyd Heslop reports: Southern Gyro Gatherings Murchison Fly-in After carefully planning a summer date (camping at Murchison can be cold as the seasons progress), we postponed the Murchison fly-in for fire risk and a pending cyclone weather event. Thus it was a month later on 21st March, that five early arrivals set up Congratulations to Paul Scherrer who crossed Cook Strait twice in the same day in RKK to attend the Havelock fly-in and fulfil a long held ambition at the same time.

Graeme Clarke in REJ is a regular at South Island gyro meets. camp on the field – enjoying some flight time during changeable weather. Others, including myself, arrived by air the next day to a welcoming meal, drinks, and an enjoyable evening of relaxation. Saturday dawned with no valley fog and high overcast. Paul had some trouble with water in his fuel from the local garage. Then after some herding of cats, we all set off towards Springs Junction; five machines headed up the Matakitaki Valley and crossed into the Maruia Valley arriving at Kelly airstrip in almost zero wind overcast conditions. We had just landed when Simon the local helicopter operator arrived to check us out. He referred to us as his rotary brothers. We then tracked down the valley and into the Maruia gorge where Gary spotted a number of deer and scanned the river for fish. A return to the Murchison strip was made via Dough Boy creek in time for lunch, arriving just before the girls who had enjoyed a Murchison shopping morning. By now, Hamish from Hokitika had flown in with the club’s fixed wing closely follow by Evan from Greymouth in his guppy bi-plane. Numerous others soon arrived and in no time the marquee was filling up. Then it was time for the bombing and spot landing competitions. The former went to yours truly in RAF and the latter to Paul Scherrer in RKK. The rest of the day disappeared into taking people for rides and the usual airfield socialisation. Sunday’s weather was variable and thwarted others from morning flights in. Departures were made in the afternoon and I arrived back at Nelson after a smooth flight home. It had been another wonderful weekend of aviation. So good in fact that a week later we arranged another event, this time a trip to Havelock. Smoko at Havelock On the back of our successful annual Murchison event we planned for a day trip to Havelock, and weather dependent an exploration of some Marlborough Sounds scenery. I arrived on Friday afternoon to be on the spot for weather reporting to others on Saturday which dawned with no fog and some scattered high cloud. Paul Scherrer called from his home in Upper Hutt for a weather report as he was determined to come across the Cook Strait in his self- designed and built autogyro ZK-RKK. He declared an ETA of 10am. Fixed-wing friends in Rans, Searey and a ¾ Cub were already at the strip when Paul arrived followed by two more gyros. In total six aircraft and ten friends together for a smoko at Havelock. The weather was amazing and had been perfect for Paul’s Strait crossing. It was also the perfect day for a Marlborough Sounds adventure. Three gyros lifted off with Paul, Ray, Graeme and myself tracking north over Havelock then down to Linkwater, Port Anikiwa, into the Queen Charlotte Sounds. We turned left and crossed into the Kenepuru Sound then checking out some local airstrips before crossing another ridge to Crail Bay, then back to Pelorus Sound and the airfield at Havelock. On a day like this, flying in the Sounds is awesome. On arrival at Brownlies strip, we found others had arrived by road. In the afternoon Paul prepared to re-cross the Cook Strait for Wellington and at 3pm we all departed for home. I heard Paul call at Tory Channel as I was crossing the Maitai Saddle for Nelson. After landing at Nelson after a very smooth trip, I drove home and just on 5pm as predicted, Paul rang to say he had arrived in Lower Hutt having struck a headwind on the homeward leg but still making good time. It was an awesome day out in exceptional weather conditions with great company. Cheers from the Mainland. Lloyd Heslop 55 2019 #3 F KKiwiFlyer Magazine Issue 63 56 F K It was finally all on for the Taildraggers Fly-In. Originally scheduled to take place in September last year, put off until December and then deferred again due to unsuitable weather conditions, it eventually took place in late March. Phil Craig reports: Taildraggers Fly-in Competition The event was hosted by Hawkes Bay & East Coast Aero Club at Bridge Pa Airfield south of Hastings with the competition flying portion of the weekend run by the Central Hawkes Bay Aero Club at Waipukurau Airfield. The use of this airfield allowed the participants to compete with much lower levels of air traffic than would have been encountered at Bridge Pa. Unfortunately, the revised weekend did clash with the Cessna 180 / 185 Club Fly-In at Makarora providing a diminished presence from these types of aircraft at the taildragger event. There were also a few pilots and their aircraft attending the AOPA Fly-In at Rangiora at the same time. After a weather pattern of predominantly northerly winds for the past few months it was decided to set the landing grid up on runway 02. Of course this only encouraged a light southerly to try and upset the morning. Central Hawkes Bay Aero Club’s Chief Flying Instructor, Ross MacDonald, gave a comprehensive briefing for the day’s aerial activities. He advised those gathered to, “Have fun, ensure safety is the number one priority, and to compete with the objective of safety being foremost.” Following this the participants were eager to get into the competition flying. Events started with the short take-off and landing competition. For something a little different, the combined take-off and landing distances for each individual flight were added, rather than using the more common practise of taking the best results of either phase and totalling them to get the shortest distance. Each pilot was allowed two attempts to fly a standard circuit to record their best attempt. The take-off measurement was taken from the line-up marker to where the main wheels left the ground (for the last time), while on landing the distance was from the marker to where the aircraft’s main wheels came to a complete stop. Any landing short of the marker would result in disqualification for that attempt. After lunch the competition turned to ‘Jail Bar’ bombing. Again, each competitor was permitted two attempts to drop their ‘bomb’ on to the moving vehicle from a height of 200 feet above the airfield. As the breeze had settled in from the south, runway 20 was used for this competition. The STOL Cub (light) Class winner was Mike Fleming flying his Piper PA-18A Super Cub ZK-BPM (138 metres total) with Ross MacDonald second (161 metres), while the STOL Heavy Class was taken out by Rob Wilson in his Cessna 180K ZK-EYH (204 metres) with R. Holland in Cessna 180D ZK-RJH second (210 metres). The ‘Jail Bar’ bombing saw the truck escape being struck for another year although the closest attempt from Jerry Chisum flying Piper PA-18 Super Cub ZK-BRO was only 5 metres away while Mike Fleming was next (5.5 metres) and Rob Wilson assisted by Stephanie Ellers third (8 metres). Overall a great day of aviating was achieved, with a couple of pilots even competing in more than one type of aircraft. Thanks to the sponsors who provided the prizes: Tukipo River Estate, Alpha Domus Ltd, and Abbey Winery & Brewery. Phil Craig Bombs away by Mike Fleming in Super Cub BPM.

Cliff Merchant of Pelorus Air says the plane was privately owned by a pilot in Mackay who used it to fly out to his place on Hamilton Island. Even though it is three years old it has only 300 hours on the hobbs. The plane has an executive interior, latest avionics and is full IFR. It will be used for scenic tours around the Marlborough Sounds. It has eight seats, but for passenger comfort will only be operated with the pilot and six passengers. The GippsAero GA8 Airvan 8 is a single-engine utility aircraft manufactured by GippsAero (formerly named Gippsland Aeronautics) of Victoria, Australia. It was designed to fill a market niche between the Cessna 206 and Cessna 208 models, which seat six and up to fourteen passengers respectively. It is used in various roles, including passenger services, freight, sightseeing, parachuting, observation and search and rescue. Pelorus Air’s chief pilot Tom Ashton and Cliff ferried the GA8 from Australia via Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands then into Auckland doing one leg each day. They had clear weather all the way although they were pushing daily head winds. When we spoke, the plane was in Omaka for CoA and Maintenance programme finalisation. Locally owned and operated, Pelorus Air offers a great opportunity to access the Marlborough Sounds and the top of the South Island from their base in Picton. They offer a variety of Scenic Flight options for two to six people. ZK-POL Polikarpov Po-2 This Polikarpov arrived in New Zealand in 2013 from Lithuania where it had been registered LY-ASZ wearing an all green scheme with a yellow number 46 on the fuselage. Aero Technologies of Ardmore worked on the aircraft over the years and it was hoped to have it at the Classic Fighters airshow at Easter 2019, but it didn’t quite make it. The first flight was at Ardmore on the Good Friday prior to the airshow. This two-seat open cockpit bi-plane is powered by a 5-cylinder Shvetsov radial engine. The Polikarpov Po-2 served as a general purpose Soviet biplane; the reliable, uncomplicated concept of the Po-2’s design made it an ideal trainer aircraft, as well as doubling as a low-cost ground attack aerial reconnaissance aircraft during the war, proving to be one of the most versatile light combat types to be built in the Soviet Union. It is one of the most produced aircraft, and may be the most produced biplane in history, with as many as 30,000 Po-2s built between 1928 and 1959. The aircraft was designed by Nikolai Polikarpov to replace the U-1 trainer (a copy of the British Avro 504). Its name was changed to Po-2 in 1944, after Polikarpov’s death, according to the then-new Soviet naming system, usually using the first two letters of the designer’s family name, or the Soviet government- established design bureau that created it. The Po-2 shows that it is a Postwar basic trainer variant. ZK-CDM Cessna A185F This Cessna 185 was recently flown into NZ from Vanuatu. Owner Alan Speight performed co-pilot duties for the ferry flight. The first leg of the trip from Vanuatu to Norfolk took 6.5 hours and the second part to NZ took 4 hours.
