An excellent Opinion piece from NZ display pilot Vaughn Davis on the South Africa-New Zealand rugby game flyover.
"Sunday morning’s flyover could have been great. Two sizeable jets flying close together a couple of hundred feet over a packed stadium would have been a fantastic start to a memorable match. Removing the safety margin that altitude provides turned it into a risk that 56,000 people shouldn’t have been forced to take."

Excellent diorama at Flugwerft Schleissheim Munich showing Bavarian Flying Corps Unit 304b. This was deployed (with Prussian units) to then-Palestine in 1917/18 so would have operated over the ANZAC Mounted Division and the Australian Mounted Division as part of The Desert Mounted Corps.

@nprofile…fh5u Lower utility of physical stores is also a factor in those examples. Our local lunchbar has closed. It wasn't very good so 5 years ago I'd be looking forward to what would replace it. Now I expect it to sit empty (like the little fruit and veg place across the road).
Commercial rents not dropping in a changing market also a factor.

Gloria Lyons was a nineteen year old New Zealand girl with tuberculosis and pen pals with members of the No. 4 Servicing Unit in the Solomon Islands. The unit decided to make her their mascot and added her name to the engine cowling. The first two P-40s as well as the F4U-1A were destroyed but the third P-40N, NZ3220 survived the war. The real Gloria Lyons overcame her tuberculosis.

@nprofile…5plc @nprofile…l7tf I think it is the Geographic Board that standardises on the macron. One of the new train stations in South Auckland was proposed with aa per historical local practice, but it was changed to ā.

@npub1gqn…kjud Some Covid, the flood-forced delay in 2023, and losing a day to weather the last two times it ran.
Organization decent but not stellar IMO.

In unsurprising news, the only airshow that Sir Peter Jackson's WW1 aircraft have displayed at for some years will not happen in 2025.

Sadly the wildfires are fairly standard, damage at ANZAC Cove is unfortunate.
