Peter Mole RIP

 I am sorry to announce the sudden parting of my co-founder/close friend Peter Mole early last week after being diagnosed with terminal Cancer.

Peter was a fellow Brit who immigrated to NZ years ago and both of us had the same passion for aviation as we did in England and was co-admin to our TaurangaSpotter blogsite highlighting Tauranga airport and the wider NZ GA  within the country.

So on the 7th July ,his wife Celia organized a funeral service at the Classic Flyers Hangar at Tauranga airport, and a big thank you to Grayson Ottaway and Mike Condon for their great tribute speeches towards Peter.

And finally, it was a great gesture for the Tauranga airport ATC to allow the Tauranga Aircraft Community to pay their respects with 9 local aircraft carrying out an individual flypast display over the Classic flyers hangar Again thank you ATC and Tauranga Airport Management.

The Aircraft involved where

1. ZK-GSU    Pipistrel Taurus 
2. ZK-TAC     Cessna 152
