Veterans from four RSAs including Warkworth were treated to flights from North Shore Aero Club in Dairy Flat to Whenuapai on Sunday, May 14.

They were accompanied by 10 members of North Shore Club’s Young Eagles.

At Whenuapai, the 25 veterans were hosted by members of the Aviation Sports Club for lunch, then flew back to Dairy Flat via a route that gave scenic views of Auckland Harbour and the city.

The majority of the veterans were from Warkworth and Birkenhead, along with some from Devonport and East Coat Bays.

This is the fifth year the North Shore Club has hosted RSA veterans and Club Captain Rodger Coleclough is already planning next year’s event.
