After the 3rd landing we had to stop, vacate left and taxi back to holding point 1 due the combination of wake separation from the previously departed aircraft and the need for other aircraft to land [hence we could not hold on the runway]. An Air New Zealand B737 came down the taxi way after us as we were waiting.
The next shot shows us mid left hand downwind. For those of you at other aerodromes, this might look a bit high and a bit far away from the runway. At Wellington our circuit is a little further away from the runway, and up to 1500' [instead of the normal 1000' AGL].
The last two pictures are a shot of Wellington Prison [north end of the Miramar Peninsular], and [I could not resist it], a shot of a motionless windsock at Wellington... some would say this is almost unheard of!

Perfectly calm in Wellington - it happens several times a week - you just have to be there at the right time (for about 2 or 3 minutes) in the switch of wind direction between the prevailing norwesterly and the wintry southerly.
Yeah nice Martin. You really need to come back for a while and see what it is really like. You may be getting forgetful in your old age :-)
