Thames airfield on January 30th held their annual Wings and wheels show on a lovely sunny day with a total of 78 aircraft turning up as visitors and airshow participants.
As I was helping marshaling in visiting aircraft to their parking area ,i was lucky enough to grab a seat in Grant Nordlick,s RV-12 ZK-TFP ,and departing early from Waihi Beach airstrip, we landed into Thames around 8am to prepare for the Marshaling air-brief for the coming visitors.
Here is a list of aircraft present on the day.
