The de Havilland DH.114 Heron was a small, propeller-driven British airliner that first flew on 10 May 1950. It was a development of the twin-engine de Havilland Dove, with a stretched fuselage and two more engines. It was designed as a rugged, conventional low-wing monoplane with tricycle undercarriage that could be utilised on regional and commuter routes. One hundred and fifty were built, exported to around 30 countries. Herons later formed the basis for various conversions, such as the Riley Turbo Skyliner and the Saunders ST-27 and ST-28.]]>

The North American Aviation F-86 Sabre (sometimes called the Sabrejet) was a transonic jet fighter aircraft. The Sabre is best known for its Korean War role where it was pitted against the Soviet MiG-15 and obtained UN air superiority. Although developed in the late 1940s and outdated by the end of the 1950s, the Sabre proved adaptable and continued as a front line fighter in air forces until the last active front line examples were retired by the Bolivian Air Force in 1994.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/north-american-f-86f-sabre-2/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/north-american-f-86f-sabre-2/ Fri, 04 Sep 2009 10:22:42 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/north-american-f-86f-sabre-2/ -37.66821700 176.19773600 <![CDATA[Boeing-Stearman Model 75 Kaydet]]>

The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75 is a biplane, of which at least 9,783 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s as a military trainer aircraft.[1] Stearman became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman or Kaydet, it served as a Primary trainer for the USAAF, as a basic trainer for the USN (as the NS & N2S), and with the RCAF as the Kaydet throughout World War II. After the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civil market. In the immediate post-war years they became popular as crop dusters and as sports planes.]]>

This hollow, 11 metre high mass of volcanic stone is a familiar landmark and playground in the seaside suburb of Sumner. The signal station on the summit of the rock once supplied information to vessels crossing the Heathcote Bar. Local Maori legend has it that Cave Rock is what remains of a great whale, beached there by sorcery by a local chief in an act of revenge. The rock is climbable, with care, and it is also possible to explore the large cave inside during low tide.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/cave-rock-and-antenna/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/cave-rock-and-antenna/ Fri, 04 Sep 2009 09:48:40 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/cave-rock-and-antenna/ -43.56619300 172.75989200 <![CDATA[Kayakers riding whitewater drain]]>

Racing shell (also referred to as just a fine boat (UK) or just shell) is an extremely narrow, and often disproportionately long, rowing boat specifically designed for racing or exercise. It is outfitted with long oars, outriggers to hold the oarlocks away for the boat, and sliding seats. The boat's long length and semicircular cross-section reduce drag to a minimum. This makes the boat both fast and unstable. It must be actively balanced by the rowers to avoid tipping. Being able to balance, or "sit" the boat while putting maximum effort into the oars is therefore an essential skill of rowing.]]>

'Bridge of Remembrance' by Prouse and Gummer
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2009-09-04 09:37:03
There were many ideas for an appropriate means of acknowledging Canterbury's contribution to World War I. The suggestion for a bridge of remembrance was put forward in a letter to the The Press by Mrs J. Wyn Irwin, wife of a school teacher. Mrs Irwin envisaged an arched bridge in place of the Cashel Street bridge. This bridge was significant because all the soldiers passed over it as they left for war. This proposal received a lot of support but still had to compete with the other projects.

The Bridge of Remembrance project gained an advantage over the other schemes when the Council agreed to pay for the building of the steel understructure. A competition was held for the design of the bridge. A Wellington architectural firm Prouse and Gummer was selected as the winner from twenty four entries. The construction contract was let to D. Scott and Son for £16 078, and work started on the bridge 23 January, 1923.

The design by Prouse and Gummer incorporated a cross suggesting sacrifice as the basis of the human character. Included in the bridge's design are torches to highlight the inscribed battle fronts, lions symbolising the Empire and its victory, along with wreaths of rosemary for remembrance. The sculptural detail was performed by Frederick Gurnsey, a local sculptor and his assistant Lawrence Berry.

The Bridge of Remembrance was opened on Armistice Day, 11 November, 1924 and was dedicated to the memory of those who took part in the 1914-1918 war. At a later date further plaques were added to commemorate the battlefields of World War II.]]>

The KZ1 yacht was the 1988 America's Cup challenger from New Zealand.

KZ1, designed by Bruce Farr, was skippered by David Barnes along with a crew of 40 from the Mercury Bay Boating Club in Whitianga. The KZ1 was given the nickname of the Big Boat or Big Beauty by financial backer, Sir Michael Fay. Many saw the size and wide deck gave the boat a nick-name of The aircraft carrier.

KZ1 prompted American skipper Dennis Conner to build a catamaran Stars & Stripes (US-1). Conner won the challenge, but most of the battle was fought in court. The KZ1 is now on display near the National Maritime Museum in Auckland.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/kz1-big-boat-1988-americas-cup-yacht/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/kz1-big-boat-1988-americas-cup-yacht/ Fri, 21 Aug 2009 13:40:42 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/kz1-big-boat-1988-americas-cup-yacht/ -36.84247700 174.76401700 <![CDATA[Rangitoto Island / Volcano]]>

Rangitoto Island is a volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf near Auckland, New Zealand. The 5.5 km wide island is an iconic and widely visible landmark of Auckland with its distinctive symmetrical shield volcano cone rising 260 metres (850 ft) high over the Hauraki Gulf. Rangitoto is the most recent and the largest (2311 hectares)[3] of the approximately 50 volcanoes of the Auckland Volcanic Field. It is linked by a natural causeway to the much older, non-volcanic Motutapu Island and is separated from the mainland of Auckland's North Shore by the Rangitoto Channel.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/rangitoto-island-volcano-1/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/rangitoto-island-volcano-1/ Fri, 21 Aug 2009 13:32:10 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/rangitoto-island-volcano-1/ -36.80866600 174.80260800 <![CDATA[Wreck of 'Janie Seddon']]>

One of two submarine minelaying vessels brought out from England in 1903, the Janie Seddon was based in Wellington and its twin, the Lady Roberts was based in Auckland. She was used in port during both world wars and was the Examination Vessel during WWII.

About 1936 Janie Seddon was purchased by Talleys Fisheries as their first vessel. In 2006 she had become a rusting hulk on the Motueka foreshore near Talleys headquarters.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/wreck-of-janie-seddon/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/wreck-of-janie-seddon/ Sat, 25 Jul 2009 09:21:37 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/wreck-of-janie-seddon/ -41.12333800 173.02493000 <![CDATA[North Shore Aerodrome (NZNE)]]>

A short straight street of some 350 metres length, Baldwin Street runs east from the valley of the Lindsay Creek up the side of Signal Hill. Its lower reaches are of only moderate steepness, and the surface is asphalt, but the upper reaches of this cul-de-sac are far steeper, and surfaced in concrete, for ease of maintenance (tar seal would flow down the slope on a warm day) and for safety in Dunedin's frosty winters. At its maximum, the slope of Baldwin Street is approximately 1:2.86 (19° or 35%) - that is, for every 2.86 metres travelled horizontally, the elevation rises by 1 metre.

Presented to the city in 2005, sponsored by Meridian Energy, and assisted by the Wellington City Council, Tower of Light is the second major work by Andrew Drummond to be installed in Wellington. He is known for sculptures that involve technology and explore the relationship humans have with technology.
Tower of Light is a machine that uses the wind speed and converts that into light using very simple technology. The rotor at the top of the tower spins in accordance to the wind speed. This rotational speed is read via a controller, which then switches on neon rings in accordance to the speed of the rotor, which is determined by the wind speed. The lighter the wind speed the fewer number of rings are lit and as the wind speed increases the more neon rings are lit. The artist has used rainbow colours as a measuring element and so the sequence goes from blue and violet at the bottom through the spectrum to red at the top. As a result, the viewer is able to read wind speed through colour, a method for them to re-sense their environment.]]>

The Firefighters Reserve in Christchurch has been established in memory of those who perished in the September 11th tragedy. The reserve features a dramatic sculpture fashioned from 5 tonnes of structural steel salvaged from the site of the World Trade Centre following their collapse on Sept 11, 2001 in terrorist attacks on New York City, New York, USA. The reserve commemorates the sacrifice of the 343 Fire Department of New York firefighters who lost their lives when the towers collapsed, as well as the sacrifices of firefighters worldwide in service of their communities. The reserve was commissioned during the opening ceremonies of the World Firefighter's Games VII (dubbed the Memorial Games) held in Christchurch 26 October to 2 November 2002.]]>
