Besides the technical challenge, another reason for recreating the shot was that in 2013 Air New Zealand 737's were starting to be retired in favour of the A320, and so the opportunity wouldn't be there for much longer. Here is the very last ANZ 737 arrival and departure from Wellington in 2015

Revisiting that time about 10 years ago when I recreated a photo my father took of an NAC 737-200 landing at Wellington in 1968 (I think possibly the first) with an Air New Zealand 737-300. It wasn't until much later that I noticed it was the exact same wooden telegraph pole/lamppost in both pics.

As of today the Orion is officially retired from RNZAF service, after more than 55 years and countless search and rescues. I've taken a bunch of photos of them over the years, but this one being chased by its shadow is one of my favourites.

Right place and right time bit of luck to catch a rare Royal Air Force A400M Atlas C.1 when it dropped in to Wellington airport for an hour on Thursday. I think it's only the second time one of those has been here

When you're in not quite the right location but take the pics anyway because it's good practice. RNZAF C-130H(NZ) NZ7002 arriving at Wellington Airport on Thursday afternoon
