From: Lodge, Nevile Sidney 1918-1989 :[Archive of original cartoons for the Evening Post and Sports Post, 1941 to 1988]

Reference: B-137-506

Description: A man stands on the doorstep of the hut containing the 'Mangere Airport Authority' and expresses concern about the number of birds on the site on which the new Mangere Airport is being built. He is not bothered about the danger they might pose to planes but rather about the laughter from Wellington in retaliation to the rude things the Mangere people said about Rongotai Airport when it was being built. A man charges around chasing the birds with an umbrella and a conch. It was at this time with advances in aircraft design and corresponding increases in air-speed that the problem of how to deal with bird-strike arose. Many airports are built on land near estuaries and the sea and so are fair game for gulls in particular. The new international airport was built on a site where little thought was given to the presence of large populations of birds. Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s).

From: Bennett, Margaret (Mrs) :Family photographs and albums relating to Gavin G Wallace

Reference: PA1-o-768

James Wallace adopted his brother's son Gavin who by this time was living with him and his wife in Wellington. Gavin does not feature in this album, but it is highly likley that members of his Yorkshire family do. There is a record of a visit to Fountains Abbey, the seaside and unidentified towns. Military manoeuvers involving soldiers on horseback were observed, and there are two photographs of the experimental military aircraft, the B.E.2a, designed by De Haviland for the British Government in late 1912. There are photographs of Malta and (presumably) British battleships in the harbour. As well as Canada the Wallaces also seem to have visited Japan It is likely that the photographs in the album do not strictly follow the sequence of their trip Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
