- Guardians of the Bays

A 1988 clip on safety issues at Wellington airport

VIDEO: A collection of scary Wellington landings and take-offs
- Guardians of the Bays
- Watching these clips (and looking at the planes coming in during a screaming Southerly or Nor’westerly from my veranda) does really make you question the sanity of the planners who thought this was an ideal location for a runway…

Monthy Python & the Wellington Runway Extension: Someone should trophy hunt this white elephant
- Guardians of the Bays
- The bumbling shambles that is the Wellington International Airport and Wellington City Council’s pipe dream for an airport expansion rolls on with more misinformation and lack of co-ordination by the various parties no doubt costing us millions of dollars with absolutely nothing to show for it but a report that says we shouldn’t go there.

Buses, but not so rapidly
- Wellington Scoop
- Will the latest developments in planning a new Wellington bus system provide the rapid transit that was originally promised? Our local bodies (the city council and the regional council, working with the Transport Agency) have chosen “two options” to be investigated for the development of “modern, faster public transport” for Wellington City. But the announcement reads as if they know nothing about the city’s layout. And as for cycleways, it’s obvious that till now these haven’t been given any consideration at all.
