The first plane I ever flew on. I was baby then, don't remember a thing but my mom and dad told me about it, and they showed me pictures too.

Ah the hangar (or hega as we refer to it hehe). It's still standing, but I have no idea whats in it or even if its being used for anything.

I think Sea Bee Air was the N.Z. company that the Grumman Goose aircraft was leased from. I know it was financed by the U.K. Then they stopped funding it a few years later. :(

( I have somewhere in my trunks the photos of the soccer players helping out after such a belly landing)
If you can get some of those photos scanned, they would make a great addition to this page!
