Air Gandy - Flight over Banks Peninsula

Well on the 3rd attempt Dave & I finally made it over Banks Peninsula on March 24. This was after ealry morning fog, which managed to clear by the time we had completed the pre-flight checks. With 130 ltrs of fuel on board we set off. It was smooth flying, unfortunately the plane's radio stopped working out near Akaroa and the Flaps failed to function on the approach to Wigram. This all lead to an interesting landing, which was fast & bumpy. Fortunately we managed to stop before running out of runway and lived to tell the tale (see below for photos).
