On a warm cloudy day on Tuesday 18th January myself and Peter Mole attended Matamata airfield to check out the Walsh Memorial Scout event.
The Walsh Memorial Scout Flying School has its annual flying scheme programme yearly here at Matamata Airfield where up to 72 students arrive on mass and pitch up tents during Wednesday 10th to Wednesday 24th January 2018.
Mass flying activity descends with portable ATC pitching up to tackle the 5-6 plus in the circuit at anyone time to prevent any disasters.
Here is the list of current aircraft that are operating on behalf of the Walsh Scheme.
PA38 Tomahawks
ZK-EVD / ZK-WAJ / ZK-PAF / ZK-WAC / ZK-LAD / ZK-COP / ZK-TDL / ZK-JFE
Cessna 152,s
ZK-NAG / ZK-JDB / ZK-TAY / ZK-FLH / ZK-FGD / ZK-BUD / ZK-TUT /ZK-ETZ
