We had a decent amount of wind in Wellington [what a surprise! :-)], but north of about Paraparaumu [NZPP], the wind settled down to a gentle westerly. The trip back included an approach and overshoot at Foxpine [NZFP]. Timing was 1.3 to Wanganui and 1.1 back to Wellington.
The best quote from the day came on the way back, as we started to hit some gentle turbulence: An aircraft may not know when it is over water, but it sure knows when it is near Wellington!
The three pictures are from Wanganui Airport. Top to bottom are ZK-FLT, the airport terminal and an Eagle Air 1900D parked up and the old Wanganui Control Tower [unused for many years].
